Klępnica lies on the southern shore of Lake Klępnicko, the largest lake in the Łobez municipality. The lake is a through-flow lake; a river of the same name flows through it. The lakeside landscape and the town’s history offer two clear points of interest: alongside the lake are a 19th-century palace, a disused cemetery, and a circular trail that runs through Klępnica.

Klępnica on the Cultural Route

The Szlak Dziedzictwa Techniki i Architektury is a 48.4 km circular trail that runs through Klępnica. In the wider destination of Labes, the cycle route of the same name was designed to showcase local architectural and technical heritage from the 19th and 20th centuries. The 48.4 km refers to the circular trail as a whole; Klępnica lies along its route.

Palace, Park and Cemetery

The Klępnica Palace is a two-storey building dating from the 19th century. Its Neoclassical style is complemented by Art Nouveau elements; the building is currently undergoing reconstruction. A small, well-kept park adjoins the palace. Together, the building’s history and the park form a distinctive landmark in the town.

Another historic site lies on the field road between the village of Klępnica and Klępnica railway station: a cemetery established in the first half of the 20th century that is no longer in use. It contains a distinctive memorial stone and the graves of the owners of the Klępnica estate, including Max Splittgerber. The cemetery’s history and the memory of former estate owners come together at this site.

The road from Bełczna to Klępnica also helps orient visitors in the area: it is lined with pear trees. The lakeshore, village, railway station and named cultural sites provide different points of reference for exploring Klępnica.
