Swornegacie at a glance

The “Kokoszka” educational trail is located by the Kokoszka forestry lodge, about 2 km from the village of Swornegacie. It is 1.5 km long and runs along the shores of Lakes Długie and Karsińskie and the Chocina River. The “Poznaj i chroń Witoczno” nature trail game begins and ends at Kozi Most in Swornegacie and follows an approximately 8 km route around Lake Witoczno near Swornegacie. The Kaszubski Dom Rękodzieła Ludowego houses a regional room, exhibition spaces, and a tourist information point.

Which nature trails suit your stay?

The “Kokoszka” educational trail offers a short route with a clear focus on nature: its 1.5 km run along two lakes and the Chocina River. Those interested in ornithology and nature will find a thematically appropriate trail here. The route is about 2 km from the village of Swornegacie; this refers to the distance from the trail to the village, not the length of the trail.

Another option is the “Poznaj i chroń Witoczno” nature trail game. At about 8 km, the route is considerably longer and goes around Lake Witoczno. Kozi Most in Swornegacie is listed as both the starting and finishing point. The walk is intended to take no more than two hours. The two nature experiences therefore differ both in length and in route: the educational trail follows the shores of several bodies of water, while the nature trail game forms a loop around one lake.

Where can you encounter Kashubian handicrafts?

At the Kaszubski Dom Rękodzieła Ludowego, a regional room offers insights into traditional equipment and tools. Exhibitions of painting, photography, and sculpture by Kashubian visual artists and craftspeople are held on the upper floor. A visit therefore encompasses both objects from everyday regional life and works from a range of visual arts.

Next to the Kaszubski Dom Rękodzieła Ludowego is a cottage with a bread oven. It hosts the “Czwartkowe wieczory kaszubskie” (Kashubian Thursday Evenings). The house is also home to a tourist information point. When planning your stay in Swornegacie, you can therefore consider nature trails and culture as separate areas of interest, rather than focusing your trip on just one activity.

How do you choose a hotel in Swornegacie?

Start your hotel search by deciding which experiences you would like to focus on: nature-themed activities and trails by the water sit alongside regional handicrafts and exhibitions. The routes and facilities mentioned here describe different activities; on their own, they do not provide information about the location of individual accommodations. To compare other destinations, you can also look at Parszczenica, Pawłowo, Brusy, Olszyny, Męcikał, Charzykowy, Leśno and Chojnice.
