Nowogardek between the Błotnica and Dębosznica rivers

Nowogardek combines a well-preserved agricultural character with a location between two rivers and traces of Pomeranian architecture. If you are looking for hotels in Nowogardek, the destination’s character can be a useful starting point: would you like to visit a rural place whose landscape and buildings offer points of interest of their own?

Landscape and local character

Nowogardek lies on low hills between the Błotnica and Dębosznica rivers, at an elevation of 2 to 12.5 metres above sea level. Along the route through Nowogardek are ponds formed in former gravel pits. Nowogardek has preserved its agricultural character and is one of the few villages to have done so.

Route and architecture

On the left side of the route, in the Nowogardek section, there is a rest area with a shelter, playground and outdoor fitness equipment.

Numerous traces of Pomeranian architecture can be found in Nowogardek, including farm buildings. House No. 19 is on the southeastern edge of the village, set back in the yard with its ridge parallel to the road-facing side.

Kołobrzeg as the wider destination

The wider destination of Kołobrzeg offers additional landscape and activity highlights. The beach at Dźwirzyno is a wide, sandy stretch of coast bordered by dunes and a pine forest; it is suitable for walks and relaxing in the shade. During the bathing season, it has lifeguarded beach areas, food stalls, changing rooms and toilets. Some access points have been adapted for pushchairs and people with reduced mobility. The Gmina Kołobrzeg also brings together coastal dunes, peat bogs, pine forests, meadows, salt marshes and river valleys. More than 700 species of vascular plants have been recorded there, including many protected species. The raised bogs in the Dźwirzyno and Grzybowo area add to the natural features of the wider destination of Kołobrzeg: they are covered with peat mosses and marsh vegetation, and insectivorous plants also grow there. In Dźwirzyno, a modern bridge over the canal between Jezioro Resko Przymorskie and the sea is also considered a landmark.

The wider destination of Kołobrzeg also offers various points of interest for activities. Grzybowo and Dźwirzyno have three Nordic walking routes of varying difficulty that run along the beaches and through the coastal forest. The 55 km Wokół Jeziora Resko cycling route runs mostly through the Gmina Kołobrzeg and also passes into the neighbouring Gmina Trzebiatów. The harbour at Dźwirzyno was once a fishing port and is now a fishing and tourism harbour. It is suitable for coastal sailing, fishing trips and sea excursions in small boats. In the wider destination of Kołobrzeg, the neo-Gothic church in Korzystno dates from 1866; the former churchyard cemetery was established in the same year and is surrounded by a distinctive brick wall.
