Szteklin between lakes and a historic manor house

Szteklin lies on a narrow strip of land between Lake Borzechowskie Wielkie and Lake Sumińskie; the village is also situated on Lake Szteklin. Its location on and between bodies of water gives the destination a clear connection to the landscape. Other features include the historic larch manor house and a municipal bathing area in the village centre. If you are looking for a hotel in Szteklin, you can first consider whether the lakeside setting, cultural heritage or swimming and bathing recreation is particularly important for your trip. Lake Szteklin should be distinguished from the two lakes between which the strip of land lies.

Lakes and nature in the area

Nearby lakes are suitable for fishing and water-based leisure activities. The dense forests in the area are suitable for mushroom picking. These nature-related activities are easy to distinguish when planning your trip: the lakes offer fishing and other water-based recreation, while the forests are suited to mushroom picking. You can decide whether to focus your stay more on the lakes or on the surrounding woodland. In this way, the area’s lakes and forests offer different ways to experience Szteklin’s setting.

The larch manor house

The authentic larch manor house in Szteklin dates from 1827 and was entered in the register of historic monuments in 1975. It is privately owned. In the area around Starogard Gdański, it is considered the only wooden aristocratic residence of its kind to be so well preserved. The grounds contain an oak tree around 300 years old and a chestnut tree around 200 years old. The manor house is situated by a lake and has a naturalistic garden and a pond. The two dates mark different milestones: 1827 is the year it was built, while 1975 is the year it was entered in the register of historic monuments. This distinguishes its construction date from its subsequent registration. The trees, garden and pond add further specific features to the manor house grounds.

Municipal bathing area in the centre

An unsupervised municipal bathing area is located in the centre of Szteklin. Its facilities include a grassy beach, several benches with tables, a fire pit, a playground and a volleyball court. The facilities offer a range of options, including the beach and benches with tables, as well as play and sports areas. Check bathing conditions and seasonal opening arrangements locally; facilities may also change.

Summer events

The summer festival series “Lato na Kociewiu” includes events in Szteklin, Lubichowo and Ocypel and is scheduled for July to August. If an event is a deciding factor for your trip, check the dates for the specific edition separately. This lets you include specific event dates in your plans without treating the general schedule as the dates for a particular edition.
