The forests of Puszcza Rzepińska surround Rzepin. This is a useful point of reference for travelers who first consider a destination’s landscape when choosing where to go. The town’s urban character is reflected in its surviving medieval street plan: its very regular layout makes the town’s historic design a subject in its own right.

These two aspects offer different perspectives. The forests describe the surroundings of Rzepin, while the street plan concerns the shape of the town itself. Together, they help you get to know Rzepin not only through individual attractions, but also through its landscape and urban character.

Several artesian springs are located in the area around Poznańska and Kilińskiego streets. Visitors can stop at the spring on Poznańska Street. The water is called Rzepinianka and is described as cold and clear.

A water collection point with a bench, parking area and bicycle rack was set up there in 2010. If the water collection point is important to your stop, check its condition before visiting.

The green cycling route starts in Rzepin, is about 15 km long and passes through Starościn. The Forestry Technical School is located there. The approximate length gives you an idea of the route’s scale; its stated starting point and stop help locate it between Rzepin and the surrounding area.

This information can help you decide whether the cycling route could be a focus of your visit to Rzepin. The length and named places answer different questions: the distance indicates the approximate scale, while the route details show which places are mentioned in its description.

The Church of the Sacred Heart was formerly dedicated to Saint Catherine. The Gothic building was constructed from ashlar in the 14th century and extensively remodeled in 1860. Its former dedication and later alterations offer two distinct points in time to explore if you are interested in the building’s history.

The municipality of Rzepin is also connected with the Szlak Romański (Romanesque Route). The route is intended to link Poland’s oldest sacred buildings, which are associated with the beginnings of the Polish state and the Christianization of the country during the Piast period. This offers another way to explore cultural history alongside the local history of the church.
