Discover Słubice: Cycling Routes, Sports and History

When comparing hotels in Słubice, you can first consider whether cycling, sports or history will shape your stay. The town offers a range of options: cycling routes with clearly stated distances and directions, sports facilities, an observation tower and historic sites. Cultural events in the wider Słubicki destination may also be of interest when planning your trip. The information below will help you get a sense of the themes and approximate route distances before choosing your stay.

Cycling routes by distance and direction

Both official cycling routes start at the bridge connecting Słubice with Frankfurt an der Oder. The Słubicka Pętla Rowerowa is approximately 45 kilometres long. The Słubice–Urad cycling route covers approximately 22 kilometres and leads from Słubice towards the municipality of Cybinka along the Oder Valley. The approximate distances make it easy to see the difference in length: the Pętla is about twice as long as the route to Urad. The details about direction and the Oder Valley, which specifically describe the Słubice–Urad route, are also worth considering when choosing a route.

The wider Słubicki destination also has a 3-kilometre recreational cycling route that starts on ul. Sportowa in Słubice and leads towards Drzecin. It connects to a 1-kilometre cycle path to Kunowice. These sections therefore provide specific additional guidance for a cycling trip in the wider Słubicki destination; they should be distinguished from the two official cycling routes, which are approximately 45 and 22 kilometres long, respectively.

Walking paths, views and sports

Various facilities in the town offer a range of activities during your stay. The observation tower in Słubice is open Tuesday to Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Opening times may change, so check the information before your visit. Park Rozrywki i Rekreacji has extensive walking paths and viewing terraces with beautiful views. The bus station is home to a skatepark that also includes a modular pump track.

The Ostmark Stadium has six running tracks and facilities for football, golf, tennis and beach volleyball. There is also an ice rink there in winter. The activities described therefore differ not only by sport but also by season: the ice rink is specifically mentioned for winter, while the other sports facilities are part of the stadium's amenities.

Historic sites in Słubice

The Jewish cemetery on Transportowa Street is one of the oldest Jewish cemeteries in Europe. It was first mentioned in writing on 2 July 1399. The Ostmark Stadium offers a different historical connection: construction began in 1914, and it opened on 27 May 1927. The stadium has been listed as a historic monument since 2014 and is one of the oldest stadiums in Central Europe. The dates mark different milestones—construction, opening and later historic monument status—and make the stadium a notable historic site beyond its sports facilities.

Cultural events in the wider Słubicki destination

Recurring cultural events are spread throughout the year in the wider Słubicki destination. Every July, Słubice and Frankfurt an der Oder jointly host Miejskie Święto Hanzy, an event that attracts around 100,000 people from Poland and Germany. In spring, classical music virtuosos perform in Słubice and Frankfurt at the annual Dni Muzyki nad Odrą. In autumn, artists from around the world perform at the international festival of singer-songwriters, transVOCALE. If you would like to combine your trip with an event, check the specific dates in advance.
