Key facts about Załom
The Załom-Kasztanowe administrative residential area in Szczecin is located on the northeastern edge of the Prawobrzeże district and is surrounded by the forests of Puszcza Goleniowska.
What natural features are there in Załom?
The western part of the Załom-Kasztanowe administrative residential area lies within the “Dolina Dolnej Odry” Natura 2000 site. The limited scope is important for the geographical context: this statement refers to the western part of the administrative area and not automatically to its entire surface area.
Another specific natural feature is an avenue of 26 pedunculate oaks (Quercus robur) in the Załom administrative residential area. On 20 June 2005, the Szczecin City Council placed it under protection as a natural monument. At a height of 1.3 m, the trees have circumferences of 123 to 472 cm and are 20 to 26 m tall.
Which trails shape your planning?
The blue-marked Szlak Anny Jagiellonki hiking trail (ZP-1058-n) is 35.3 km long and runs through the Załom-Kasztanowe administrative residential area. If you plan your trip around hiking trails, you can consider this route as a focus in its own right alongside the forest landscape and the connection to the protected area.
The red-marked Szlak Rekowski hiking trail (ZP-1057-c) runs from Szczecin Załom railway station via Szczecin Zdunowo, Niedźwiedź and Szczecin Jezierzyce to Rekowo.
The two hiking trails differ in length and route. Their names alone do not imply that they are currently accessible, usable or connected to a specific accommodation.
