The wooden palisade maze, a historic building on the main market square and the natural surroundings of Kokotek reveal different sides of Lubliniec. If you want to shape your stay around culture, play or outdoor activities, you’ll find practical starting points here—from the late 18th century to outdoor activities available all year round.
A playful idea and the Old Town
The wooden palisade maze was built in 2021 and quickly attracted the interest of fans of hide-and-seek. It has been renovated. This gives Lubliniec a leisure spot with a clear play concept alongside the historical landmarks of the Old Town. The year and the renovation mark two different aspects of its history: its creation and a later renewal.
House No. 5 stands on the main market square in Lubliniec’s Old Town and is the oldest surviving market building. The building dates from the late 18th century. Its location on the market square and its status as the oldest surviving market building make it a distinctive historical landmark. Compared with the maze, built in 2021, the two attractions belong to very different periods: one is a building from the late 18th century, the other a more recent leisure idea. You can therefore focus more on the city’s heritage or on the theme of hide-and-seek.
Kokotek: Forest, Activities and Lake Posmyk
Kokotek is a tourist recreation district of Lubliniec and can be reached via a cycling path that runs through the forest. Hiking, cycling and horse riding are possible there all year round; cross-country skiing is also available in winter. The season therefore changes the options: three of these activities are possible year-round, while cross-country skiing is mentioned as an additional winter option.
Lake Posmyk is also located in Kokotek. It is about 1.7 kilometres long and just under a kilometre wide. Together, the forest path, activities and lake offer different ways to enjoy a stay focused on the outdoors.
Culture and routes in the wider Lubliniec destination
Other places in the wider Lubliniec destination add to the picture of its cultural heritage. The wooden Church of St. Anne in the centre was built in 1653 and reconstructed between 1996 and 2004; its interior is Baroque. The Muzeum Pro Memoria Edith Stein is housed in a tenement that once belonged to Edith Stein’s grandparents, Adelajda and Salomon Courant. In Steblów, the parish church is dedicated to Saint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross, Edith Stein; in December 2021, it was elevated to the status of a sanctuary.
The historic centre also reflects several periods: it developed from the medieval town founded under German law. It includes a square market, Plac Konrada Mańki, and streets lined for the most part with 19th-century houses. The Jewish cemetery on ul. 11 Listopada bears witness to the two-hundred-year presence of the Jewish population in this Silesian town. These places offer different points of focus for a culture-oriented itinerary—from urban history and architecture to religious and Jewish heritage.
Cycling Routes and Local Transport
Two marked cycling routes are described in the wider Lubliniec destination; Lipie is a district of Lubliniec. The blue Turystyczna cycling route No. 852 runs from the Lipie district through the centre to Lubliniec-Wymyślacz. The yellow Turystyczna cycling route No. 439 starts at the market square and heads towards Steblów, initially following al. Solidarności northwards.
Nordic Walking Route No. 4 runs through the forests south of Lubliniec, past the Łopian forest ranger’s lodge. There are rest areas along the route, as well as information boards on preparation and exercises for Nordic walking. Lubliniec also has a municipal transport system with timetable and information pages for lines 301, 302 and 303. Check the latest timetable information before factoring local public transport into your plans.
