Koleczkowo

The Zagórska Struga flows through Koleczkowo. The trail of the same name runs through the stream valley, across meadows, through wooded areas and along the edge of the forest. In the northern part of the village, Koleczkowski Młyn, it follows the bank of the Struga and passes near the site of the former mill. The Daniel Chodowiecki Hiking and Horse Riding Trail also passes through Koleczkowo; its total length is 283 km.

The Zagórska Struga Trail offers a clear landscape to follow: its route follows the valley of the stream of the same name. After crossing the road between Koleczkowo and Chylonia, the trail continues across meadows, through wooded areas and along the edge of the forest. The landscape thus alternates between open spaces and wooded sections. The wooded areas of Koleczkowo are mostly within the buffer zone of Tricity Landscape Park.

The black-marked Zagórska Struga Trail passes through Koleczkowski Młyn. This part of the village is in the north of Koleczkowo on the bank of the stream; the trail runs near the site of the former mill. If you are interested in a hike, you can distinguish this route description from the much longer Daniel Chodowiecki Hiking and Horse Riding Trail. The latter is 283 km long in total and also passes through Koleczkowo. This is the length of the entire trail, not just the section in the village.

Near Koleczkowski Młyn, the Zagórska Struga Trail was rerouted in 2021: its former section crossed private properties; afterward, the trail ran from the edge of the forest onto Młyńska Street. This change helps with orientation along the section near the former mill. It also shows why the location description for Koleczkowski Młyn and the street name are useful for this part of the trail.

A monument in Koleczkowo commemorates the battles fought by Kashubian partisans of the Secret Organization Gryf Pomorski against Hitler's forces. A partisan bunker has also been reconstructed in a wooded area beside the school. Both sites give the history of the partisans in Koleczkowo a tangible connection to the village; the monument and the reconstructed bunker are separate memorial sites.

The regional ensemble “Koleczkowianie” is also part of the village's more recent cultural history. It was active in Koleczkowo during the period 2012–2019. This timeframe matters: it describes the ensemble's activity at the time, not a current program.

If you are looking for a hotel or other accommodation in Koleczkowo, you can base your choice on the things that interest you during your trip: the trail through the Zagórska Struga valley, the longer hiking and horse-riding route, or the memorial sites related to partisan history. The routes differ mainly in their character and overall length; the Daniel Chodowiecki Trail is 283 km long, while the information about the Zagórska Struga describes its course through the stream valley and near Koleczkowski Młyn.
