What does the cemetery tell us about Szymbory?
The Evangelical cemetery dates from the second half of the 19th century and is listed in the register of monuments. Municipal regulations provide for the preservation and maintenance of its old trees, paths and burial plots. Its date, listing and planned maintenance are therefore distinct aspects of the cemetery. Visitors interested in cultural heritage will find a clearly defined historical focal point in Szymbory.
How is the cultural landscape classified?
The 2005 local plan places Szymbory in a protection zone for the cultural landscape of the harmonious rural landscape in the central part of Godkowo Municipality. This planning perspective complements the specific cemetery with a broader cultural and historical classification. This allows two scales to be distinguished: a single historic site and the rural landscape in which Szymbory is situated according to the plan.
What cycling routes are there?
A 2005 local plan designates cycling route KR.02. It passes through Klekotki, Skowrony, Godkowo, Szymbory and Dobry. A rally held for Independence Day followed a route of about ten kilometres from Szymbory via Piskajny and Dobry and back to Szymbory on 11 November. These are two different route options to compare: the sequence of five places on KR.02 and the rally’s approximately ten-kilometre loop. If you plan to use these cycling routes, check current information about the route and its condition beforehand.
