Szpęgawa

Szpęgawa can be explored during a stay through two distinct themes: a green walking route through the village and a specific culinary festival day in August 2026. The Szlak Ziemi Tczewskiej passes several old buildings and a chapel dating from the late 19th century. At the Święto Gminy Tczew, participants could sample food in the park in Szpęgawa. When planning your trip, these aspects belong in different categories: the route combines walking with local buildings, while the food is tied to a specific festival day.

Walking through Szpęgawa

The green Szlak Ziemi Tczewskiej im. Romana Klima walking trail passes through Szpęgawa. The stretch through the village itself makes the route useful for trip planning: the trail runs through the village. Along the way, it passes several old buildings that are former poniatówki, as well as the Chapel of Saint Mark the Evangelist. These buildings lie along the same route and give the village stretch a historical focus. If you enjoy walking when choosing a destination and also pay attention to local buildings, you can explore Szpęgawa via this trail. This creates a clear connection between the green walking trail and the historic sites it passes in the village.

The chapel and former poniatówki

The chapel is dedicated to Saint Mark the Evangelist and dates from the late 19th century. Other points of interest include several old buildings that are former poniatówki. The route therefore brings together two different historical references: for the chapel, its dedication and date go hand in hand; for the other buildings, their identification as former poniatówki is significant. The dedication indicates the chapel’s religious association, while its date places it in a particular period. The other buildings are distinguished by a different kind of historical classification. This gives culturally interested visitors different aspects to look out for along the same route.

A culinary festival day

At the Święto Gminy Tczew in the park in Szpęgawa on 29 August 2026, participants could sample freshly baked bread from Kamila Kamrowska, a semifinalist on the TV show MasterChef. The municipality also provided bigos and a slice of bread with lard free of charge; these dishes were prepared by the DPS in Damaszka. Since 29 August 2026 is in the past, this event should be viewed as a look back at the festival. Unlike the walking route, it describes a specific festival day and adds a culinary aspect to a visit to the village. In Szpęgawa, a route featuring historic buildings and a meal at a festival on a specific date thus stand side by side as distinct themes.

What these themes mean for your trip

If you are considering Szpęgawa as a travel destination, you can see the walking trail and its buildings as a shared focus. The route passes through the village and goes by the former poniatówki and the chapel, making walking and local history a concrete part of a trip. The food at the Święto Gminy Tczew, by contrast, belongs to the festival day in August 2026 and offers a dated culinary look back. This distinction helps you consider a potential stay according to your interests: the trail as a walking and cultural theme, or the festival as a historical occasion.
