Warlubie: History, Oak Avenue and Hiking Trail

Warlubie offers several specific points of interest to consider when planning your trip: a long local history, nature-related attractions in the municipality and the “Stu z nieba” hiking trail. In the center of Warlubie, there is a railway station on line 131, Chorzów–Tczew. If you are considering traveling by train, check the current timetable in advance. When looking for a hotel, you could consider whether your stay will focus more on local history, nature or a hike.

Local History and the Church

Warlubie was first mentioned in 1277 and has a history spanning more than 700 years. The Church of the Immaculate Heart of Mary was consecrated by Juliusz Bartkowski in October 1924. These details mark different historical points of reference: the first mention concerns Warlubie as a place, while the consecration relates to the history of a specific church. In this way, a reference reaching far back into the past and a precisely dated religious landmark come together as you explore Warlubie’s history.

Protected Areas and Oak Avenue

The “Osiny” peat bog nature reserve is located in the Municipality of Warlubie. The “Kuźnica” forest nature reserve is also in the municipality and covers more than 7 ha. The protected areas represent different types of landscape; the area figure refers to Kuźnica. A historic oak avenue also runs between Warlubie and Bąkowo. The Jan Kazimierz oak stands along it and is estimated to be more than 700 years old. For a sense of location, the distinction is useful: Osiny and Kuźnica are within the municipality, while the avenue expressly runs between two places. The tree and the avenue form a shared landscape feature, distinct from the nature reserves. The peat bog, forest area and oak avenue thus offer you different nature and history themes to consider when planning your trip.

The “Stu z nieba” Hiking Trail

The “Stu z nieba” hiking trail is approximately 42 km long. The route description, published in 2017, takes it from Warlubie through Bąkowo, Bąkowski Młyn, Borowy Młyn and Lipinki. It also lists Sobina, Lake Miedzno, Orli Dwór, the “Brzęki” nature reserve, the paved Osie–Skórcz road, the bridge over the Wda in Stara Rzeka, Sarnia Góra, Zazdrość, Laski and Śliwiczki as stops. The description follows the route as far as Śliwice and Szlachta in Świecki County. At approximately 42 km, it is a distinct focus for your trip planning. As the route description dates from 2017, check current trail conditions before setting out.

When choosing a destination, this gives you a distinction between local and route-based interests: the first mention and the church are historical points of reference in Warlubie, while the hiking trail describes a longer route with stops across several places. If you are looking for a hotel for your trip to Warlubie, you can first decide which of these themes you want your stay to focus on.
