Reda is located in the Pradolina Redy-Łeby, the Reda-Łeba glacial valley. Three distinct themes can help you find your bearings in the town: the protected landscape, the aquapark, and cultural and historic buildings. Together, they show that Reda cannot be reduced to just one way of exploring it.

Water attractions at the aquapark

The named attractions at Aquapark Reda differ in form and scale. River Expedition is a 315 m-long water course; Volcano is a whirlpool for up to 24 people. Pirate Bay is designed for small children: the pool is 30 cm deep and features a pirate ship and seven slides. AquaSpinner is a rotating water slide marketed as the first of its kind in Europe. This makes it possible to compare course length, whirlpool capacity and pool depth as distinct features, rather than treating all the attractions as one category. As descriptions of individual attractions may change, check the aquapark’s current information when planning your visit.

Forest, hiking trail and viewpoint

The forests in southwestern Reda are within the protected Trójmiejski Landscape Park. At the end of Jarej Street, there is a viewpoint at about 70 m above sea level. The blue hiking trail on the edge of Kępa Pucka runs along the northwestern outskirts of the city; its 32 km route leads from Wejherowo via Mrzezino to Puck. The forests and the marked trail are therefore in different directions from the city: the forests in the southwest, and the trail on the northwestern outskirts. The 32 km figure describes the total route; check the signage and route locally. The approximately 70 m refers to the viewpoint’s elevation, while 32 km is the length of the hiking route—two figures that answer different planning questions.

Art and architecture in Reda

The Miejska Biblioteka Publiczna offers two cultural points of interest: it houses a permanent exhibition of wooden sculptures by folk artist Izajasz Rzepa; the public library’s main building also contains the “W Hirkowej Izbie” gallery. Thus, one institution has both an exhibition dedicated to a named artist and a gallery with its own name. Before visiting, check whether the wooden sculpture exhibition is currently on display.

Reda’s buildings can also be distinguished by different features. The church on Gdańska Street is Neo-Gothic; the term places it in a style that revives Gothic architectural forms. The historic railway station building dates from 1870. It was built according to the larger of two standardized station designs for the Słupsk–Gdańsk line. The year of construction and the design variant answer different questions: 1870 places the building in time, while the larger design explains which of the two designs it follows. For the church, by contrast, the focus is on its architectural style.
