Smazyno

The Bolszewka Valley is a landscape feature of Smażyno, and the Bolszewka River flows through the village. The “Wokół Smażyna” route is one of the hiking and cycling trails in the municipality of Linia and runs along the river. Historic buildings include a former Protestant church, a 19th-century manor house, a 16th-century mill and a neoclassical palace. The palace is not accessible to tourists.

The valley and river give the area two clearly identifiable landscape features. The Bolszewka Valley is part of Smażyno; the Bolszewka flows through the village and is also part of the “Wokół Smażyna” route. So if you like to consider nature and local history together when choosing a destination, you will find both a river and buildings with different historical associations here.

The church was built for the local Protestant community between 1862 and 1865 in the Neo-Gothic style. It is a single-nave religious building made of red brick, not oriented eastward, with a set-back chancel. Notable features include a tower that rises above the landscape and a gabled roof. Smażyno is home to the only former Protestant church in the municipality of Linia.

The manor house, mill and palace also represent different historical associations. The 19th-century manor house is considered the best preserved in the municipality of Linia. The mill dates from the 16th century. The palace was built in the 19th century by the Wejher family in the neoclassical style. When planning a visit, bear in mind this clear restriction: the palace is not accessible to tourists.

The route first follows a paved road to the church and then a field path to the Bolszewka. Both the surface and the places along the way change on this section: first the church, then the river. This makes it possible to follow the route by its specific stops. As the route is one of the hiking and cycling trails in the municipality of Linia and runs along the river, you can consider including it in your travel plans if you are interested in outdoor activity and scenery. The information about the road and field path helps you understand the sequence of the route; no distance or walking time is specified.
