Slawa: Landscape Park, History and Riding Trail
Accommodation in Slawa
Slawa can be explored through three distinct themes: landscape, remembrance and a named riding trail. If you are looking for a hotel, it helps to decide in advance which of these aspects of the area you want to shape your trip. Public transport routes may also play a role in your planning.
Slawa at a glance
- The small landscape park dates from the second half of the 19th century and covers 3.68 hectares, including the church grounds.
- An obelisk commemorates the elimination of the “Kotła Świdwińskiego” and the liberation of the village of Sława in 1945.
- The “Pętla wzdłuż doliny rzeki Regi” riding trail is a 10.6-kilometre loop via Kluczkówko to Cieszeniewo.
- For 2026, two public transport routes with stops in Sława and Sława kolonia are listed; one of them runs at weekends.
What do the landscape park and obelisk tell us?
The park and obelisk each highlight a different aspect. The landscape park gives the area a natural setting; the stated area of 3.68 hectares explicitly includes the church grounds. In other words, this is the total area, including those grounds. The park’s dating to the second half of the 19th century places it in its historical context.
The obelisk commemorates specific events: both the elimination of the “Kotła Świdwińskiego” and the liberation of the village of Sława. The year 1945 refers to the liberation. The area’s landscape and its historical remembrance can therefore be considered as distinct themes.
What is the riding trail like?
The 10.6 kilometres refers to the “Pętla wzdłuż doliny rzeki Regi” loop. Its stated route runs from Sława via Kluczkówko to Cieszeniewo. Its name, classification as a riding trail, length and sequence of places give this option a clearly defined profile. You can therefore consider the route as a separate focus alongside the place-based themes of the park and memorial obelisk.
Which public transport routes stop in Slawa?
The route listed for 2026, Redło – Bronowo – Żołędno – Redło, stops in Sława and Sława kolonia. A second public transport route runs via Połczyn-Zdrój and Świdwin and back to Połczyn-Zdrój; it runs at weekends and also stops in both places. The weekend service information applies to this second route. As routes and services may change, check the current timetable before travelling.
How can you factor local features into your hotel search?
When comparing hotels, you can start by sorting out your travel priorities: should the landscape park, the memorial obelisk or the riding trail be your main focus? Is the weekend service relevant for your travel dates? These questions can help tailor your search to your plans. Then check the location and amenities of each specific listing.
What history can be found nearby?
In Łęgi, near Slawa, the so-called “Bitwa o krowę” (Battle of the Cow) took place in 1469 between citizens of Świdwin and Białogard. The event is therefore associated with the surrounding area, not Slawa itself. It is a distinct historical point of interest, dating from well before the obelisk’s commemoration of the village’s liberation in 1945.
