Puszczykowo: Museums, Architecture and Trails

Puszczykowo offers a range of reasons to visit: cultural history, automotive history, architecture, and trails for cycling and walking trips. If you are looking for a hotel in Puszczykowo, these themes can help you plan your trip around your own interests. The routes vary in scope: one connects several places, while others stay within the town.

Excursions and local history

The ice cream parlour run by the Kostusiak family has been a local business for many years. It attracts many visitors on warm weekends and is a destination for motorcycle and cycling trips. The history of the railway station also reflects the popularity of excursions to Puszczykowo: it was expanded in 1910 for this reason.

Museums with different focuses

Since 1974, the Muzeum Arkadego Fiedlera has been housed in a villa built in 1926 in the style of a Polish manor house. The collection includes mementos and trophies from the travels of Arkady Fiedler, the writer and traveller, and his sons. The museum also features a 1:1-scale replica of Christopher Columbus’s sailing ship Santa Maria and a replica of the Hurricane aircraft. Travel mementos and large-scale replicas are therefore a key focus of this museum.

The Muzeum Polskiej Motoryzacji is dedicated to the heritage of Polish motoring. It presents motorcycles, historic cars, and technical products that have shaped this history. Its extensive vehicle collection includes every motorcycle produced in Poland after the war, as well as most pre-war models. This sets the museum’s focus apart from the travel mementos and replicas at the Muzeum Arkadego Fiedlera: here, the development of motoring takes centre stage.

Church and works of art

The Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary (Matki Boskiej Wniebowziętej) was built between 1923 and 1928. The main altar features a sculpture of the Assumption of Mary, created by Czesław Woźniak in 1936. A painting of the Madonna and Child by Władysław Roguski is located at the side altar. The church’s construction period, sculpture, and painting each provide their own point of reference for its art and architectural history.

Trails for cycling and walking trips

The Łącznikowy Szlak Rowerowy connects Puszczykowo to a regional cycling route: it runs from Poznań through Luboń and Puszczykowo to the market square in Mosina, where it joins a section of the Pierścień Rowerowy Dookoła Poznania. The green Arkady-Fiedler-Weg covers a different scale, staying within the boundaries of Puszczykowo. The named places and local route distinguish the two trails, but do not make it possible to infer a walking or cycling time.

The Szlak Letniska runs through quiet streets in Puszczykowo; the historic buildings along the route recall the history of that period. “Perły architektury Puszczykowa” offers a particular focus on architecture. The trail showcases the special value and beauty of the town’s architecture through pre-war villas and architecturally interesting guesthouses. Here, historic buildings along the streets and the architecture of villas and guesthouses therefore stand out as distinct themes.

Zakole Warty adds a destination for excursions, family walks, and picnics to the routes. The overgrown riverbank is easily accessible right down to the water. When planning your trip, the options thus differ mainly in what they offer: a cycling connection linking named places, routes through streets and architecture, or an excursion destination by the water.
