Juszkowo: Water, Trails and History

The Centrum Rekreacji has a kayak base and a water sports equipment rental service. Visitors can use kayaks and pedal boats on the Radunia Reservoir. A one-kilometre nature and health trail also runs along the banks. Historic buildings include the hydroelectric power station built in 1937 and a cemetery chapel dating from the first half of the 19th century.

The Centrum Rekreacji offers a range of ways to spend time on the Radunia Reservoir: kayaks and pedal boats. A kayak base and water sports equipment rental service add to these options. If you want to plan your stay primarily around water activities, these offerings provide a concrete basis for choosing your destination. The available information lists the activities but gives no times or durations, so plan your day according to your own preferences and the current conditions on site.

Those who prefer to get around on foot or by bike can also find walking and cycling trails at the Centrum Rekreacji. This provides standalone land-based options alongside the water activities.

The nature and health trail along the Radunia is one kilometre long and also includes a walking and cycling path. Educational boards are placed along the trail. This means the route combines exercise with information you can read along the way.

The Szlak Zabytków hydrotechniki (Hydrotechnical Heritage Trail) is a walking and cycling route that passes through Juszkowo and ends in Pruszcz Gdański. Its theme is hydrotechnical history. If you are interested in technology and structures, the trail offers a different focus from the nature and health trail along the Radunia. Its route through Juszkowo and the stated endpoint in Pruszcz Gdański help distinguish it as a separate route from the one-kilometre riverside trail.

The Juszkowo hydroelectric power station was built in 1937. Its generating capacity is 250 kW, and its head is 4.25 m.

The cemetery chapel offers another way to explore the area’s history. It dates from the first half of the 19th century and retains stylistic features as well as well-preserved historic fabric. Those interested in historic architecture can consider the chapel as a subject in its own right, alongside the hydroelectric power station.

Settlement in the Juszkowo area dates back to the 7th century BC. It was connected with a settlement of metal casters and amber processing. This early history differs markedly in both period and subject from the later buildings, adding the area’s long history of settlement to the picture.

The Wojewódzki Bieg Doliną Raduni (Provincial Radunia Valley Run) is a recurring sporting event on the Juszkowo–Straszyn route. The Objazdowych Teatrów Lalkowych Młodego Widza FOTEL (FOTEL Touring Puppet Theatre Festival for Young Audiences) has also been held in Juszkowo in several editions. The events appeal to different interests: the run is sports-focused, while the festival is dedicated to theatre for young audiences.

If you’d like to compare other places, you’ll also find Grabiny-Zameczek, Żukczyn, Kłodawa, Przejazdowo, Cedry Wielkie, Miłowo, Swibno and Trzepowo.
