Radecin: History, Cycle Route and Lake

Radecin combines local history with paths through forests and a destination by the water. For planning your trip, these topics can be considered separately: a historical connection in the village, a branch of a cycle route and the beach area at Lake Jezioro Radęcino. The historical connection is in the village; the beach and leisure area are destinations nearby.

Local History in Radecin

Radecin was formerly an estate belonging to the Cistercians of Bierzwnik. This former connection to the history of the monastery provides a historical reference alongside the paths and leisure spots by the lake. The Church of St. Peter and St. Paul (Kościół św. Piotra i Pawła), dated to 1878, also stands in Radecin. The two details concern different aspects: the ownership history relates to the former affiliation of the village, while the date refers to the construction of the church. If you are not planning your stay around leisure activities alone, these details also offer a historical perspective on Radecin.

Cycle Route and Path to the Beach

The longer branch of the “Wstęga Dobiegniewa” cycle route passes through forests to Radecin. Its forest setting and destination give this section a clear route. The path to the beach at Lake Jezioro Radęcino runs through the village centre. For your planning, these are two distinct routes: the cycle route focuses on the forests and Radecin as its destination, while the beach path runs through the village. This lets you choose between a cycling route and a path to the lake, depending on your plans.

Lake Jezioro Radęcino: Beach and View

The beach at Lake Jezioro Radęcino is located near Radecin. It has an 80-metre-long bathing pier with ladder-style steps into the water. There is also a viewing tower at the beach. The view from the beach makes a particularly impressive end to the route. For your outing, the pier and tower are useful landmarks by the shore; the view connects the beach with the route.

About 1 km from Radecin, there is a recreation and leisure area by the lake. It includes tent pitches and motorhome pitches with electricity and water hookups. There is also a sanitary building with washbasins, toilets and showers, as well as parking and bicycle racks. The electricity and water hookups are for the motorhome pitches; the sanitary building, parking and bicycle racks complete the facilities. For the 2026 season, the area is privately leased. If using this facility is important for your trip, check the current terms of use in advance.

In 2024, the campground had four two-person kayaks, with paddles and life jackets. If you are planning a kayaking trip, check availability in advance. There is also a landing stage at Lake Jezioro Radęcino in Radecin; it is also advisable to enquire about its current use in advance.
