Wolica brings together several specific activities: an interactive nature trail in the forest, a health trail, horse-riding opportunities offered by Klub Jeździecki Wolica, and a memorial with historical significance. If you are looking for hotels in Wolica, you can plan your stay around whether hiking, outdoor exercise, horse riding or local history is your main interest.

Forest Trails and Exercise

The municipal forest in the Wolica cadastral district, in the municipality of Godziesze Wielkie in Kalisz County, covers 157.5 hectares. This area figure adds a different measure to the route lengths: it describes the size of the municipal forest, while the trail figures refer to specific routes.

The interactive nature trail in Wolica Forest is more than two kilometres long and was designed for children, teenagers, adults and seniors. It features outdoor games, movable elements, knowledge wheels, mazes and quizzes. This mix offers a broader range of activities than a walking route alone: physical activity is combined with playful and educational elements. The four age groups show that the trail is not just for children but appeals to several generations.

At the health trail in Wolica, visitors could do exercises at stations and complete obstacle courses in 2023. Individual stations and course elements may change. If particular exercises are important to you, check in advance which elements are available. The two trails differ in content: the nature trail focuses on educational and game elements, while the health trail centres on exercises and obstacle courses.

The red-marked hiking trail to Ołobok reaches the health trail after 5.4 kilometres, at the edge of the village of Wolica. The 5.4-kilometre figure applies to this route and should not be confused with the length of the nature trail, which is more than two kilometres. Each trail therefore has its own distance listed. Check the trail conditions and markings before setting out.

Horse Riding and Local History

Klub Jeździecki Wolica offers lunge lessons specially adapted for beginners. Horse riding is available throughout the week. The club has two indoor and two outdoor riding arenas; how the facilities can be used may change. Contact the club before your visit, as prior arrangements may be required. Ask about the details of the lunge lesson you have planned and the current conditions for using the facilities.

The memorial in Wolica was erected in 1960 by the village’s residents. It commemorates the victims murdered by the Nazi aggressor during the Second World War. Alongside the forest and outdoor activities, this memorial gives a visit a cultural and historical dimension. If you would like to combine several interests, you can treat this as a separate focus alongside the active pursuits.
