Discover Wolica: Forest Trails, Horse Riding and History

Wolica can be explored through several different interests: an interactive educational trail in the forest, a health trail, horse-riding opportunities and a monument with historical significance each offer a distinct focus. If you are looking for a hotel in Wolica, these destinations can help you decide whether learning and games, exercise, horse riding or local history matter most on your trip. The trails and horse-riding opportunities differ considerably in their focus.

Forest Trails and Exercise

The interactive educational trail in Wolica Forest is more than two kilometres long. Outdoor games, movable elements, knowledge wheels, mazes and quizzes bring together different types of activities and learning. The trail was designed for children, teenagers, adults and seniors. Its mix of playful elements and learning activities sets it apart from the health trail, which focuses on exercises and obstacle courses. When planning, you can therefore choose between two specific focuses: interactive stations with learning and games, or a trail featuring exercise stations.

In 2023, visitors to the health trail in Wolica used stations for exercises and obstacle courses. Individual stations and course elements may change. If you plan to make the trail a focus of your visit, check beforehand which elements are available. The red-marked hiking trail to Ołobok reaches the health trail on the outskirts of the village of Wolica after 5.4 kilometres. Before setting out, check both the trail conditions and the markings.

The area of the municipal forest also offers another point of reference for the landscape: the forest in the Wolica cadastral district, in the municipality of Godziesze Wielkie in Kalisz County, covers 157.5 hectares. A municipal article from 2015 described it as a place for active recreation. Check before your trip which specific facilities are available.

Horse-Riding Opportunities and Practical Arrangements

Klub Jeździecki Wolica offers specially adapted lunge lessons for beginners. Arrangements may be necessary, so confirm your participation with the club directly in advance. The club has two indoor and two outdoor riding arenas and offers horse riding throughout the week. As conditions at the facilities may change, also coordinate your visit with the club beforehand. This lets you take beginner lunge lessons, the riding arenas and the weekly riding opportunities into account as separate points in your planning.

A Monument with Historical Significance

The monument in Wolica was erected in 1960 by the village residents. It commemorates the people murdered by the Nazi aggressor during the Second World War. Local history is therefore another topic you can include in your trip planning. Visiting the monument offers a different focus from the forest trails or horse-riding opportunities: here, the emphasis is on remembering the victims.
