Discover Neusalz: Trails, culture and the Oder

Kacza Górka Park in Nowa Sól is a 14.5-hectare green space with a body of water, suited to walks and recreation. Cyclists can choose from routes including the 65-kilometre yellow Czarciego Kamienia cycle route, which starts and ends in Nowa Sól, and the approximately 58-kilometre “Kolej na rower” route, with two named sections. The Muzeum Miejskie features the permanent exhibition “Wnętrza mieszczańskie”; excursion boats call at the harbour, offering trips on the Oder.

For a more relaxed stay amid greenery, Kacza Górka Park is a good place for walks and recreation. The body of water is part of the green space; at 14.5 hectares, its size is also a useful point of reference if you are planning a visit to the park. Nadodrzański Recreation Park is considered a place for active recreation and complements this offering with a different focus.

Other options focus on exercise: the rope course park has several courses with varying levels of difficulty. If a particular course layout is important to you, it is best to check before your visit. The BMX racing track is 360 metres long. This is separate from the BMX track in the BMX skatepark, which is described as one of the largest in Poland and meets Olympic standards. Wakeboarding is available as a water sport at WakePark. These options offer different kinds of active leisure, but that does not mean they are suitable for every age or ability level.

The yellow Czarciego Kamienia cycle route is 65 kilometres long and starts from and returns to Nowa Sól. “Kolej na rower” is listed as shorter, at about 58 kilometres, and comprises the Stypułów–Nowa Sól and Nowa Sól–Sławocin sections. These sections are linked by a network of urban cycle paths. Their length, route structure and endpoints give you different points of reference when choosing a route.

The wider regional context is also worth noting: most hiking and cycling routes in Nowa Sól County pass through Nowa Sól. The city combines a rich history with interesting architecture. This places the routes and urban attractions in a regional context, without requiring individual routes to be combined into one circular tour.

The permanent exhibition “Wnętrza mieszczańskie” is part of the cultural offering at the Muzeum Miejskie. The museum’s education department organises museum lessons, workshops, educational trails and guided tours. It also works with local educational institutions and prepares annual competitions for children and school pupils. These activities also cater to educational groups; for specific planning, the relevant offering is what matters.

Another cultural venue is Magazyn Solny, which is used for cultural events and social initiatives. The Muzeum Miejskie’s “Noc Muzeów” traditionally takes place on Friday evenings. If you would like to include this event in your trip, check the date for the relevant year. In Krasnala Park stands Soluś, described as the world’s largest dwarf and listed in the Guinness Book of Records.

Excursion boats call at the harbour in Nowa Sól. Trips on the Oder are possible along the Nowa Sól–Cigacice–Bytom Odrzański–Głogów tourist harbour network. Check the timetable and specific dates for your preferred travel period. The “Visit Nowa Sól” tourist information centre is located at 2 Korzeniowskiego Street, near the harbour and the Oder.

The PKP Nowa Sól complex is in the city centre, right next to city buses and taxis. As transport connections can change, it is worth checking the current connections for your travel date. Then compare the location of each accommodation option with the places that matter to you during your stay.
