A 75-minute guided tour starts in the market square by the town hall; several cycling routes and circular trails also start in Strzelce Krajeńskie. At 14.5, 28 and 38 kilometres, the routes differ considerably in length. Strzelce Krajeńskie thus combines urban sights with cycling and nature themes.
City tour and little witch figurines
The guided tour visits the city’s sights, starts in the market square by the town hall and lasts 75 minutes. This gives you a clearly defined activity to include in your day’s plans. The tour may be organised seasonally, so plan according to the time of year you are travelling.
Since 2016, little witch figurines have been installed throughout Strzelce Krajeńskie, one by one. There are currently nine, though the number may change. They were created by Marek Stankiewicz, a sculptor from Kraków. The sixth figurine stands by Jezioro Górne and depicts a female cyclist. For art enthusiasts, the little figurines offer another city motif alongside the sights on the tour. The cyclist creates a thematic link to the cycling routes.

Compare cycling and circular routes by length
The Dankowski Szlak is a 14.5-kilometre cycling route that starts in Strzelce Krajeńskie. Also starting in the town is the 28-kilometre circular cycling and hiking route to Długie. This gives you a shorter cycling route and a longer route that is specifically intended for hiking as well. You can take both the distance and the stated use into account when choosing.
The 38-kilometre Szlakiem Rezerwatów circular route also starts in Strzelce Krajeńskie. It covers the south-eastern part of Puszcza Gorzowska, including the Wilanów, Przyłężek and Buki Zdroiskie nature reserves. Of the three routes mentioned, this is the longest; it also has a specific connection to the named protected areas.
Conditions on all the routes mentioned may change. Access to the nature reserves along Szlakiem RezerwatĂłw may also vary. Check the current conditions before planning; for this circular route, that also means checking access to the protected areas.
