A trip to Golubie can be planned around several themes: the Botanical Garden focuses on vascular plants, while the Nasze Młynarstwo Museum explores the history of milling. There is also a canoeing route and a hiking trail that pass through Golubie. When planning, it is worth distinguishing between these activities: a botanical collection, milling culture, or getting active on the water and on foot.

Botanical diversity in the Kashubian Landscape Park

The Botanical Garden in Golubie covers 2.12 hectares. It currently cultivates 4,000 taxa of vascular plants from various regions of the world. Around 150 protected plant species also grow there. These figures offer different insights into the garden: the number of taxa shows the breadth of the collection, while the protected species add the aspect of conservation status. The garden is located within the Kashubian Landscape Park. Visitors interested in plants will find a clear focus for their stay here. The garden thus combines its location in the Kashubian Landscape Park with vascular plants from various regions of the world.

Milling craft and cultural history

The Nasze Młynarstwo Museum is housed in an old, still-operating mill in Golubie. It presents the history of milling as well as traditions, customs, and cultural heritage. Live demonstrations, workshops, and the operation of historic machinery are part of this presentation. This means the focus is not only on the history of the craft, but also on machinery in operation and cultural traditions. Bread-making workshops are offered for organised groups; this group requirement applies to this activity.

Canoe trip or hiking trail

The approximately 40-kilometre Kółko Raduńskie canoe route passes through Golubie and takes around two days to complete. It includes more than 25 interconnected bodies of water, almost all of which are suitable for water sports and swimming. With its approximate duration, the canoe trip is a multi-day activity in its own right, not merely a short addition between two sightseeing stops. As a different way to get around, the Red Kashubian Hiking Trail passes through Golubie and continues to Lake Dąbrowskie. This offers a choice between a canoe trip across interconnected bodies of water and a hiking trail with the lake as its destination.

Plan your stay around your interests

When choosing a hotel in Golubie, it makes sense to first decide what you want to focus on during your stay. The garden offers a botanical focus, the museum a cultural and historical one, while canoeing and hiking provide different ways to get active. The canoe route in particular should be planned as a separate block of time, as it takes around two days to complete. The Red Kashubian Hiking Trail leads to Lake Dąbrowskie and offers a different hiking option.
