Losino: Nature Trail, Manor House Park and Hillfort
Accommodation in Losino
The Słupia is a clear point of reference in Losino: the nature trail runs alongside the river, and the former manor house park is right beside it. East of the village, an early medieval hillfort adds another point of historical interest. When choosing accommodation, you can take nature, culture and the cycling route into account as separate priorities.

What connects the landscape and the manor house park?
The Losino sołectwo (village administrative area) lies within the “Dolina Słupi” Landscape Park. The nature trail runs alongside the Słupia in Losino, and the former manor house park is right beside the river. If you want to consider the landscape and history together, the Słupia is a clear point of reference: the trail follows it, and the park lies directly on its bank.
Old oaks surround the tomb in the park. There are also trees there that have been recognised as natural monuments. Alongside its historical significance, the park therefore has a tangible connection to the trees and the river landscape.
Which historical sites can you discover?
The early medieval hillfort lies east of Losino, in a bend of the Słupia. It is classed as a lowland hillfort of unknown type. The classification conveys two different facts: the site is dated to the early medieval period, while its type among lowland hillforts is unknown. The “Szlakiem troci i łososia” nature trail allows visitors to see the hillfort.
The former manor house park also offers several points of historical interest. It is part of the former residential area of the manor farm and grange complex. A path leads from the park’s western main entrance to the manor house ruins. The park also contains the tomb of Maximilian von Zitzewitz, the last owner of Losino. The commander died in 1937; his tomb lies directly beside the Słupia and is surrounded by old oaks.
What routes and waterside features are there?
A cycling route starts in Losino and runs via Krępa Słupska, Lubuń, Kwakowo, Lulemino, Kuleszewo, Kończewo and Sierakowo, returning to Losino. The listed places make it easy to follow the circular route. Another route is Łosino–Krępa: its first section follows a nature trail; it then runs from Krępa towards Lubuń along the “Dolina Słupi” trail.
For canoeists, the timing is important: construction of a canoe station, including waterway and road signs, was completed behind the forester’s lodge in July 2018. If you are planning a canoe trip, check in advance whether access is currently possible.
