Lubowo: Lake, Church and Landscape
Accommodation in Lubowo
Lubowo can be understood through three specific points of reference: Lake Lubicko Wielkie, the parish church in Łubowo and its location on the edge of Drawski Landscape Park. For travel planning, these present water, culture and landscape as distinct areas of focus.

- The town is on the edge of Drawski Landscape Park.

What points of reference can help you choose a location?
Road and landscape connections provide two different points of reference for getting your bearings. Łubowo’s location on National Road 20, along the Szczecinek–Czaplinek route, places it on a named transport link. By contrast, being on the edge of Drawski Landscape Park describes the town’s connection to the landscape. If you first want to consider the character of your destination when planning your trip, you can weigh these aspects separately: road access and the location on the edge of the park.
What makes Lake Lubicko Wielkie distinctive?
Lake Lubicko Wielkie covers more than 260 hectares. It is rich in fish, has a beech-covered island and is considered a recreational spot for anglers. These features answer different questions: the area gives an idea of the lake’s size, the island is a specifically named feature of the landscape, and the description of it as a spot for anglers connects the lake with a particular recreational interest. If water plays an important role in choosing your destination, this distinction helps separate the lake’s role in the landscape from fishing as a specific focus.
What makes the parish church a cultural point of interest?
The parish church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Łubowo was built in 1834–1835 and is described as Neo-Romanesque and Neoclassical. Neo-Romanesque refers to a revival of Romanesque forms; Neoclassical points to the formal language of Classicism. These two terms provide an accessible architectural description. The church and its surroundings are listed as a protected monument under registration number A-61, dated 10 April 2001. The protected status therefore explicitly also covers the surrounding area. Together with its construction date, the church provides a clear historical and architectural point of reference for Lubowo’s cultural side.
What water and nature activities are there?
Groups of kayakers often stop at Graty Beach near Łubowo while travelling along the Karol Wojtyła Waterway. This is a specific connection to a water route and differs from the description of the lake as a place for anglers: here, the focus is on groups stopping along the waterway, while the other description focuses on the lake and fishing. The forests around Łubowo offer another activity, as they are associated with mushroom picking in autumn. Autumn is thus the specific seasonal reference for this woodland activity. The waterway, lake and forests appeal to different interests, which you can consider separately when planning your trip.
