Two specific natural and waterside attractions take centre stage in Lubon: the “Mechowisko Radość” nature reserve and Lake Kielskie. The green-marked “Kołowe Stegne Gochów” cycling route also passes through the village. When choosing a holiday apartment, you can first decide whether peat bog landscapes, the lake or cycling will guide your plans. The following local information will help you put these attractions in context.
Peat Bog and Landscape Protection
The “Mechowisko Radość” nature reserve covers 9.59 hectares and is located in Lubon. It protects an alkaline peat bog ecosystem with unique flora comprising mosses and vascular plants. The bog formed from a mesotrophic charophyte lake that was gradually silting up. This history makes the transformation from lake to peat bog, and its distinctive plant life, central to the conservation area. The Lubon sołectwo also lies within the “Fragment Borów Tucholskich” landscape protection area. This protected landscape adds a broader perspective to the precise area given for the peat bog.
Lake Kielskie: Access and Activities
Lake Kielskie is located in Pomeranian Voivodeship, Bytów County and the Lipnica municipality, between Zapceń, Lubon and Prądzonka. The best access is via National Road 212; in Zapceń, continue towards Stoltmany or Lubon. Check current road conditions before setting out. A parking area and pier are designated in Lubon by the lake. Fishing is possible as a visitor activity, and various facilities are available for use. If you plan to fish, check the applicable conditions in advance. Zapceń is the shared reference point for finding your way: the lake lies between Zapceń, Lubon and Prądzonka, and from Zapceń you continue towards Stoltmany or Lubon.
Cycling Route and Other Local Attractions
The “Kołowe Stegne Gochów” cycling route passes through Lubon and is marked in green. If you plan to use it, check the signage locally before setting off. A description from May 2021 says that the Manufaktura Pstrąga in Lubon is accessible only via dirt roads. As their condition may have changed, check access to this destination in advance. In nearby Hamer-Młyn, an old mill stands beside a picturesque stream. It adds a historic local attraction to the natural and waterside features.
Equipment Hire and Accommodation Planning
Most agritourism establishments in the Lipnica municipality offer fishing equipment, kayaks, boats and bicycles for hire. If a particular item is important to your plans, ask your chosen establishment about current availability. When looking for a holiday apartment in Lubon, it may help to first decide what you want to focus on: the peat bog, the lake or cycling. Arrange any specific equipment hire separately with the establishment concerned.
