Discover Moryń

The old town has an oval, approximately horseshoe-shaped layout. The defensive walls survive along almost the entire perimeter of the town. Two Nordic walking routes differ in length and difficulty: the green route is 1.7 kilometres long and easy, while the red route is 3.6 kilometres long and moderate. At natural Lake Morzycko, there is an inland bathing area with 75 metres of shoreline.

Moryń’s defensive walls are among the few examples of medieval urban fortifications in West Pomerania that survive along almost the entire perimeter of the town. Together with the oval, approximately horseshoe-shaped layout, these fortifications define the historic character of the old town. For anyone interested in urban history and historic architectural forms, this is more than a single monument: it is a fortified complex whose surviving walls extend across much of the town’s perimeter.

The Church of the Holy Spirit is also a striking part of the town’s historic character: it was built from granite stones in the 13th century. Its altar is made of granite blocks and is one of only a few of its kind in Poland. The building and the altar each showcase granite in a different way. For a cultural trip, this offers a tangible connection between Moryń’s medieval architectural history and a distinctive piece of church furnishings.

The green Nordic walking route runs around the defensive walls and is listed as an easy 1.7-kilometre route. The red route is longer, at 3.6 kilometres, and is rated moderate. It starts at Plac Wolności and heads towards the Church of the Holy Spirit. The two routes therefore differ in length and difficulty; however, the red route is not described as a circuit around the defensive walls. If you are planning your day based on distance or difficulty, you can compare these details directly.

The inland bathing area is located on natural Lake Morzycko, on ul. Jeziorna. It has 75 metres of shoreline. From 28 June to 31 August 2025, the water there was assessed as suitable for bathing. This assessment applies specifically to that past summer period.

A lakeside avenue also features imprints of the paws and hooves of Pleistocene animals. The promenade with the Aleja Gwiazd Plejstocenu has an open-access character; admission is free. The lakeside attractions thus include both a connection to natural history and a freely accessible public space for visitors. The Geopark Information Centre offers the exhibition “Doświadczenie epoki lodowcowej” (“Experience of the Ice Age”). It takes visitors on a journey from the last Ice Age to the present day, complementing the Pleistocene animal tracks with an exhibition on Earth’s history.

The annual regatta for the Blue Ribbon of Lake Morzycko was announced for Sunday, 16 August 2026, at the beach in Moryń. The date has passed; it describes the announcement at the time and is not an upcoming event date.
