Nowecin: Łeba Park, history and trails by Lake Sarbsko

Nowecin offers a range of reasons to stay: the 30-hectare Łeba Park dinosaur park, the castle and park complex, walks by Lake Sarbsko and riding lessons. Those whose main reason for visiting is the park will have different priorities from those interested in the area’s history or walks by the lake.

Łeba Park: Dinosaur Park in Nowęcin

Łeba Park is a 30-hectare dinosaur park in Nowęcin. Its size gives a concrete sense of the scale of this attraction; its theme sets it apart from the area’s historical and natural attractions. The park has facilities for visitors with disabilities. As these may change, check the latest information before your visit.

Chapel and local history

The east wing of the castle and park complex in Nowęcin contains a former Gothic chapel known as “Jerusalem.” Its location in the east wing and its name give this feature a specific place within the complex. The area’s history is also connected with Lake Sarbsko: after the severe storm and flood of September 15, 1497, Klaus Wejher moved his residence to the lake’s southwestern shore in Nowęcin. The date and circumstances establish when the move took place; the shore identifies the new location. The chapel and the move offer different historical points of reference: one is part of the castle and park complex, while the other describes the location of the residence on the lakeshore.

Walking and hiking by Lake Sarbsko

Those who want to get around on foot can choose between a named hiking trail and walks through lakeside meadows. The “Pętla Sarbska” hiking trail starts near Łeba railway station and heads towards Nowęcin; it then follows the southern shore of Lake Sarbsko. In the area around Nowęcin, the “Pętla Sarbska” hiking trail runs mostly through the “Mierzeja Sarbska” nature reserve. This is distinct from walks through meadows on the shore of Lake Sarbsko, which are possible in Nowęcin. This means there are two different options: a named route, with its direction and section along the southern shore, and walks by the lake. If you are planning a hike, check the current route and conditions in advance.

Riding lessons at “Senny”

The “Senny” riding facility in Nowęcin offers riding lessons. This provides another specific reason to visit, alongside the park, local history and walks. If you would like to include riding lessons in your stay, confirm the current schedule directly with the facility in advance before making firm plans. When looking for a hotel in Nowecin, you can take this interest into account, along with your interest in history or trails by the lake. Riding lessons are an instructional activity; walks through lakeside meadows are a way to spend time outdoors.
