Discover Kolincz

• The blue Szlak Rzeki Wierzycy hiking trail passes through Kolincz and, regionally, runs from Pogódki to Gniew.
• On the Wierzyca, a concrete weir lies about 50 m after the portage point. Kayakers must get out there and carry their kayaks around it.
• The hydroelectric power station was built in 1911 on the site of a former mill and is not open to visitors.

The blue Szlak Rzeki Wierzycy hiking trail passes through the village. Further along its regional route, it runs from Pogódki to Gniew and offers particularly attractive scenery. This places Kolincz within a longer hiking route without implying that the village is associated with the entire route. Check current trail conditions before setting out.

For kayakers, the location on the Wierzyca is described more specifically: about 50 m after the portage point in Kolincz, there is a concrete weir. You must get out there and carry your kayak around it. This passage should therefore be planned as an interruption to your trip. Check local conditions before kayaking.

The hiking trail and the river appeal to different interests: the trail offers a scenic regional perspective, while the concrete weir means planning for a specific interruption on the river. If you are weighing up the two options, the scenery and the flow of the kayaking trip are therefore distinct factors to consider.

The Jewish cemetery lies on a hill between fields, away from the built-up parts of the village. In 2024, the cemetery was unused and heavily overgrown.

The hydroelectric power station was built in 1911 on the site of a former mill. Most of its equipment has been in continuous operation since the station began operating. The power station building is considered worth seeing, but the facility is not open to visitors. This distinction matters when planning: the industrial history can be considered part of the village’s story, but a visit to the power station is not possible.

The two sites represent different aspects of local history: the cemetery is a quiet memorial site set apart from the village; the hydroelectric power station illustrates the use of the former mill site to generate energy. In the latter case, the year 1911 and the continued operation of most of the equipment are among its notable historical details.

The information about the trail and the river provides different kinds of practical guidance; for the power station, bear in mind that it is not open to visitors. This lets you assess Kolincz based on your interests without combining its different features into a single excursion offer.

If you are looking for a hotel, these points can help you plan the rest of your trip. Check current trail conditions if you plan to hike, and local river conditions if you plan to kayak. Each recommendation applies to its respective activity; neither determines what kind of stay you might want.
