Stubendorf

Izbicko is home to St. John the Baptist Church, Park w Izbicku and Pałac w Izbicku. The park at Pałac covers 11 hectares. Two named cycling routes pass through or lead to Izbicko: Cycling Route 52, “Szlakiem sanktuariów,” and Cycling Route 1, “Opole–Izbicko–Opole,” which is 47.2 kilometres long. Pałac is privately owned and currently operates as a hotel.

The park at Pałac w Izbicku is characterised by old trees designated as natural monuments, as well as rare shrub species. Park w Izbicku also has a central pond with a wooden footbridge. A large covered seating area is furnished with benches and tables, and there is also a barbecue area.

Park w Izbicku offers space for outdoor events and family picnics. It can also provide a place to rest during longer cycling trips. If you explore Stubendorf by bike, you can therefore include the park in your day’s plans as a possible outdoor stop. Separately, “Pasieka” offers a covered seating area with a barbecue, walking paths and a pond.

St. John the Baptist Church in Izbicko has Neo-Gothic altars, old oil paintings and a polychrome wooden crucifix dating from the mid-18th century. A historic statue of St. John of Nepomuk also stands by the cemetery wall near the church. Those interested in church art and religious imagery will find a variety of specific subjects and art forms here.

Local cultural life also has more recent roots: until 2019, the primary school in Izbicko organised the Voivodeship Storytelling Competition “Śląskie Beranie”; by then, it had been running for more than 25 years. This adds an example of a long-standing storytelling tradition to the architectural and artistic sights.

Cycling Route 52, “Szlakiem sanktuariów,” runs through Izbicko and crosses National Road 94 there at a signal-controlled intersection. This particular intersection is a useful landmark when following the route. Cycling Route 1, “Opole–Izbicko–Opole,” is 47.2 kilometres long. You can take its stated length into account when deciding whether this kind of trip fits your planned day; no further information about duration or route profile is provided here.

The area is also described as having numerous forest roads and paths, as well as the revitalised area around the pond in Izbicko, for walking and cycling trips. These paths and the pond area are also suitable for family outings on foot and by bike. An old stand of oak trees grows near the local complex of fish ponds. This means a visit to Stubendorf can focus not only on the church and park, but also on paths and nature in the surrounding area.

Pałac w Izbicku is privately owned and currently operates as a hotel. It is not open to visitors, except hotel guests; it can be viewed from the outside. This restriction is important if you plan to visit Pałac as a sight: the interior is not generally open to visitors. Izbicko is located on the main route between Opole and Strzelce Opolskie.
