Discover Greifenberg: Railway, City Gates and Routes

Greifenberg (Gryfice) combines city history with the West Pomeranian narrow-gauge railway. If you are looking for a hotel in Greifenberg, you can plan your stay around the city gates, railway and signposted routes. The route lengths and the different local connections can help you assess the options for your trip.

Narrow-Gauge Railway and Exhibition

Nadmorska Kolej Wąskotorowa operates tourist train services and manages the railway infrastructure on the Gryfice–Pogorzelica route. The railway’s full route is 39.5 kilometres long, runs through three municipalities in Gryficki County and connects 14 localities. This makes the railway more than just a point of interest for railway enthusiasts: it also links several places. If you are planning a journey, check the latest timetable information beforehand, as operating conditions may change.

The open-air exhibition of West Pomeranian narrow-gauge railways in Gryfice offers another perspective. It is a department of the National Museum in Szczecin and displays historic locomotives, carriages and other railway equipment. The exhibition and the tourist train services have different focuses: one showcases historic vehicles and equipment, while the other highlights tourist rail traffic and the route’s infrastructure.

City History at Two Gates

Brama Kamienna in Gryfice was first mentioned in a document in 1333 and retains Gothic elements. The date and the surviving architectural features offer two distinct points of reference for understanding the gate: its early written mention and its Gothic design. During a visit, you can therefore look out for both historical dates and architectural details.

Brama Wysoka houses the Muzeum Ziemi Gryfickiej, Galeria Brama and a tourist information office. The building thus combines several cultural and tourism functions. These visitor services may change, so check the latest information before visiting.

Compare Routes by Distance

The urban “Dwóch Bram” tourist trail in Gryfice is 2.5 kilometres long and suitable for tourists of all ages. Cycling route III connects Gryfice and Płoty over a distance of about 12 kilometres. Comparing them reveals different route lengths and purposes: one is an urban tourist trail, while the other connects two places. When planning, you can first choose the route and stated distance that best suit your plans.

More destinations in the wider travel area

Beyond the destinations described here in Gryfice, the wider travel area has its own attractions. In Trzęsacz, MuzeON presents a modern multimedia exhibition featuring sound, light and images. In Niechorze, the Park Etnograficzny offers the educational trails “Droga Ryby” and “Droga Chleba.” There, a Koźlak windmill dating from 1843 illustrates the production of flour, groats and oil.

The green circular trail “Wokół Liwiej Łuży” starts and ends in the centre of Niechorze and runs around Lake Liwia-Łuża. The lake is an ornithological reserve; 133 bird species have been recorded there, including 50 breeding species. The international R10 cycling route is also part of the wider travel area: it passes through Trzęsacz, Niechorze, Trzebiatów and Mrzeżyno and is 40.2 kilometres long. Its sequence of places and its length set it apart from cycling route III between Gryfice and Płoty.
