Discover Cekcyn

Cekcyn offers specific routes and cultural topics to help you plan your trip. The “Jarzębina” tourist centre is located in the town. A yellow hiking trail passes Wielkie Jezioro Cekcyńskie and Cekcyn beach before reaching the railway station; a black forest cycling route starts and ends in Cekcyn and is 50 kilometres long. There are also two festival connections from different years. To plan your stay, you can first decide whether you would rather focus on a particular route or a cultural topic.

Hiking between the lake and the railway station

The yellow Bartłomiej Nowodworski hiking trail (D219) follows the eastern shore of Wielkie Jezioro Cekcyńskie and passes Cekcyn beach before reaching Cekcyn railway station. So the described route includes not only the lakeshore, but also the beach and the railway station. If you want these particular stops to shape your hiking day, you can plan around the named route. Route conditions may change, so check current route information before setting out.

Cycling through several places

The black local “Borowej Ciotki” forest cycling route is 50 km long. It runs from Cekcyn through Iwiec, Wysoka, Wierzchlas, Lisiny, Suchom, Leśnictwo Jelenia Góra, Zdroje, Trzebciny, M. Gacno, Wlk. Budziska and Krzywogoniec, returning to Cekcyn. Cekcyn is explicitly both the starting point and destination of this route, which passes through several other settlements along the way. So consider it a circular route across multiple places, rather than a route that lies entirely within Cekcyn. The 50 km distance gives you a clear measure for fitting the cycling trip into your stay. Check current route information before setting out on this route, too.

The two routes offer different ways to plan your trip: the hiking trail focuses on the named points along the lakeshore, at the beach and at the railway station, while the cycling route loops out from Cekcyn through other places and back. You can then decide whether to include a route with several local stops or a circular route in your stay.

Festival history and trip planning

The cultural events also have different time frames. The Cekcyn Electronic Music Festival has been held continuously in Cekcyn since 2006. The first concerts of the Kocioł Festival took place in the summer of 2012 in Cekcyn’s amphitheatre. This means there is both a festival series running since 2006 and a specific first concert event in the summer of 2012. If you want a festival visit to determine your travel dates, check the dates for the relevant edition before planning your accommodation.

When looking for a hotel in Cekcyn, it helps to decide on the main focus of your trip first: for a tour, it is the route you want to take; for a festival visit, it is the specific event date. This lets you plan your stay around the occasion that matters most to you.
