Rów: Cycling Route, History and Landscape

When choosing accommodation in Rów, you can use the type of trip you are taking and your interests as a guide: a new cycling route leads from Góralice towards Rów, two road routes pass through the village, and historic traces are also noted here. Nature-related topics add to the picture of the municipality of Myślibórz.

Cycling route and regional connections

An official notice from September 2026 reports that the newly built cycling route from Góralice towards Rów has been completed and opened for use. The route follows the embankment of a disused railway line. The new section connects the existing BLUE-VELO route in Góralice with the West Pomeranian Lake District route. For your planning, this gives you both the specific alignment along the former railway line and two named regional cycling route connections. If you are travelling by bicycle, you can take these details into account without equating the local section with either of the two routes.

Road routes through Rów

There are also two distinct connections to consider when finding your way by road. National Road 26 passes through Rów on the route from the state border via Krajnik Dolny and Chojna to Myślibórz. In addition, the northern route “Droga 1000 Jezior” passes through Rów, between Trzcińsko-Zdrój and Golenice. It is intended for motor vehicles. While the national road is described as part of a longer connection, “Droga 1000 Jezior” refers to the northern route between the two named places.

Historic points of interest in the village

Rów is home to the historic branch church of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary (pw. Nawiedzenia Najświętszej Maryi Panny). Another local point of interest is the archaeological settlement trace “osada Rów,” find site 14. These represent two different kinds of historic evidence: a historic church building and an archaeological settlement trace with its own find-site number. If local history is of interest as you plan your trip, these topics offer clear points of reference without being confused with one another.

Nature reserves in the municipality of Myślibórz

In the municipality of Myślibórz, the “Długogóry” nature reserve protects a terminal moraine landscape with numerous erratic boulders, Pomeranian beech forest, and small bodies of water with interesting aquatic and marsh vegetation. The “Tchórzyno” nature reserve protects, for scientific and educational reasons, a peat bog with very rich and rare vegetation growing on lacustrine chalk, as well as a lake in the process of silting up, with underwater meadows. The reserves differ clearly in their described character: Długogóry is notable for its moraine landscape, erratic boulders, forest and small bodies of water, while Tchórzyno is characterized by its bog, vegetation and lake in the process of silting up.

In the wider destination of Soldin

Within the wider destination of Soldin, Myślibórz is another focus of cultural heritage. The old town preserves its medieval street plan, and the Nowogródzka Gate survives as part of the defensive walls. The late Baroque town hall features Rococo and early Neoclassical elements. The historic Dutch windmill at 8 Szkolna Street is also a historic building. These points of interest differ from those in Rów and offer a separate perspective on Myślibórz.

Recurring cultural events are also part of what the wider destination of Soldin has to offer. The Muzeum Pojezierza Myśliborskiego (Myślibórz Lake District Museum) holds the Jarmark Klasztorny, an open-air festival with a historical and cultural character, every year around the turn of May and June. The Spotkania Młodych Autorów i Kompozytorów Piosenki „SMAK“ im. Jonasza Kofty (Jonasz Kofta Young Songwriters and Composers’ Meeting) takes place every September. Young singers, songwriters, composers and performers take part; established composers and artists lead workshops for participants. If you would like to plan your trip around one of these events, check the specific event dates in advance.
