• The botanical garden in Gołubie covers 2.12 hectares and is located within the Kashubian Landscape Park.
• The garden currently cultivates 4,000 taxa of vascular plants; around 150 protected plant species grow there.

The botanical garden in Gołubie brings together vascular plants from different regions of the world across 2.12 hectares. The 4,000 taxa currently cultivated give an idea of the collection’s diversity. There are also around 150 protected plant species. For travelers interested in botany, the garden is therefore a distinct area of interest in Golubie.

Its location within the Kashubian Landscape Park is another point of reference for understanding the garden’s setting: it is not outside the park, but within its boundaries. If you want to balance nature and culture when planning your trip, you can consider the garden a nature-focused attraction and weigh it against the village’s mill and water activities.

The Nasze Młynarstwo Museum presents the history and traditions of milling, along with customs and cultural heritage. It does so through live demonstrations, workshops and the operation of historic machinery. The museum’s focus therefore differs from the variety of plants in the botanical garden: here, the emphasis is on craftsmanship and its practical demonstration.

The museum is located in an old mill that is still in operation. Nasze Młynarstwo also offers bread-making workshops for organized groups. If you are planning a group trip and are interested in how bread is made, this is a specific activity to consider when choosing what to do.

The Kółko Raduńskie is an approximately 40 km canoe route that passes through Golubie. It takes about two days to paddle. The route includes more than 25 interconnected bodies of water; almost all are suitable for water sports and swimming. This part of trip planning is therefore aimed at people who want to spend time on the water. The route’s length and approximate duration also provide a concrete basis for planning the canoe trip.

As a land-based alternative, the Red Kashubian Hiking Trail passes through Golubie and continues to Lake Dąbrowskie. If you are weighing up a canoe trip and a hike, you can distinguish between these two types of activity for your stay without treating them as a single route.

When looking for a hotel or other accommodation in Golubie, it helps to first decide what matters most to you: the botanical collection, the mill museum with its workshops, or time on the water. The bread-making workshop may be relevant for organized groups; for a canoe trip, the approximate two-day duration is an important planning consideration.
