Zakrzewo: Trails, Wayside Shrine and Historic Farmstead
Accommodation in Zakrzewo
Zakrzewo combines a section of the blue Szlak Rezerwatów with individual buildings and a wayfinding point on the Pomeranian Way of St. James. When planning your trip, it is worth distinguishing between the two route references: they describe different trails. There is also a wayside shrine, a historic farmstead and a bridge over the Wieprza.

How should the route information be interpreted?
The blue Szlak Rezerwatów runs through Zakrzewo for an approximately 15-kilometer section. This figure describes the approximate length of that section; it is not an exact distance.
The Pomeranian Way of St. James is a different route. On its Sławno–Darłowo stage, Zakrzewo Górne is associated with kilometer 21.0. This kilometer marker belongs to the stage information; by contrast, the approximately 15 kilometers refers to the section of the blue Szlak Rezerwatów. The two figures therefore cannot be compared as the lengths of the same route.
A separate recommendation applies to cyclists and wheelchair users on the Pomeranian Way of St. James: from Zakrzewo, they should take the shortcut along the voivodeship road directly to Darłowo. Difficult terrain makes it impossible to travel through this area using wheeled vehicles. This guidance is intended for the groups named and should not be applied broadly to all travelers.
Which buildings define the area?
There is a wayside shrine near house No. 39. At farmstead No. 22, the buildings include a house, two stable-and-barn buildings, and a barn constructed using timber framing and solid construction. The house numbers help you distinguish these places when exploring the buildings in Zakrzewo.
The construction methods offer a concrete glimpse of the farmstead’s architecture: timber framing relies on a load-bearing wooden framework, while solid construction refers to buildings made with solid structural components. Zakrzewo also has a two-span bridge over the Wieprza. “Two-span” describes the bridge’s form; together with the river name, this feature distinguishes it from the buildings at the farmstead.
What should you know about accommodation in Zakrzewo?
One specific accommodation option is Dworek Jurasa in Zakrzewo Górne, a part of Zakrzewo. The house is located on a moraine hill, 45 meters above sea level. This helps pinpoint its location within the area without conflating it with the trails or buildings elsewhere in Zakrzewo.
Guests at Dworek Jurasa can use a 30-are garden surrounded by mature trees, a pond and a terrace of approximately 140 square meters. These outdoor areas are available to guests staying at this accommodation. When searching, it is therefore helpful to distinguish Zakrzewo as a destination from this specific accommodation option.
The area’s different features appeal to different travel interests: the blue Szlak Rezerwatów offers a connection to hiking, while the shrine, farmstead and bridge draw attention to individual buildings. The route information for the Pomeranian Way of St. James is most relevant when planning stages; the specified shortcut is an important practical note for cyclists and wheelchair users.
