Polanow offers several distinct points of interest for planning a trip: the Erratic Boulder Park, the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the landscaped surroundings of Kacze Lake, and events with cultural, religious and motorsports themes. You can shape your stay around a named place or a specific event theme. The distinctions below can help you combine these highlights in a meaningful way without conflating them.
Erratic boulders and their origins
The Petrograficzny Park in Polanow features 22 erratic boulder exhibits. Information explains their origins, composition and structure. The park is therefore about more than just the number of exhibits: questions about where erratic boulders come from and what they are like are also part of its subject. If you are interested in geological formations, the park offers a clear focus. It is located on the regional road from Polanow to Bobolice.
The church as a landmark
The Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary is in the heart of Polanow and can be seen from all approach roads. It is both a landmark and a specific point of interest for those interested in architecture. It dates from the 18th century and has a Neo-Gothic altar. It is worth keeping these details distinct: the date refers to the church, while Neo-Gothic describes the altar. Together, they offer a clear location and two different architectural features.
Facilities for planning your trip
The Centrum Przesiadkowe in Polanow has an information point, a waiting room, luggage storage and bicycle parking. These four facilities address different practical needs: finding information, waiting, storing luggage and parking bicycles. Here, practical facilities for information, waiting, luggage and bicycles sit alongside attractions defined by their subject or architecture.
Relaxation by Kacze Lake
The landscaped surroundings of Kacze Lake provide residents and tourists with a place to relax and enjoy leisure time. This makes the lake a recreational space, distinct from the specific themes of the Erratic Boulder Park and the church. If you would like to plan your stay around more than cultural attractions, the lake offers a separate focus on leisure. This makes it easy to distinguish between erratic boulders, architecture and relaxation by the lake when planning your trip.
Events with different themes
The Orszak Trzech Króli has been held in Polanow since 2013. Its route runs for three kilometres from Polanow to Święta Góra Polanowska, also known as Polanowskie Betlejem. The procession includes live music, a street Nativity play and communal Christmas carol singing. The event thus combines a clearly defined route with music, theatre and singing together. If you are interested in cultural and religious occasions, you can consider it as a distinct focus when planning your trip.
Another religious tradition is the pilgrimage of Kaszubski Odpust, which traditionally begins at the statue of Saint Otto in Polanow. By contrast, the route to Święta Góra Polanowska is a defining feature of the Orszak. Motorsport enthusiasts may also be interested in the XXXVI Międzynarodowy Zlot Motocykli nad Zalewem: the 2026 edition took place in Polanow from 10 to 12 July. It included a traditional motorcycle parade through Polanow, as well as demonstrations and rides on a motocross track. If you would like to plan your stay around an event, check the date of the edition you want to attend in advance.
