Tourist Trails

- green 10 km long – spans around Choczewskie Lake and turns aside towards Starbienino. The trail’s objective is to show the natural wealth of the area, which is the lake as well as presenting the wind power plant and sun batteries as forms of alternative sources of energy. Information boards have been placed by each of these points. This picturesque trail has some quiet spots to rest.

- yellow 9 km long – begins just passed Choczewo and leads through Kierzkowo to the wood-nature path in the vicinity of Szklana Huta’s Forest Ranger Lodge. We also recommend this trail in order to increase bike traffic security. By taking this trail one can reach the beach, consequently avoiding going along the Choczewo – Lubiatowo road which is very busy at this time of the year.

- blue 13 km long – starts at a parking lot immediately passed the village of Osieki /here you can leave your car and get on your bike/. The trail leads towards a wood-nature path and then further north along the Lubiatowo Sand Dune and the shore, through Lubiatowo and Kopalino until it finally joins the yellow trail. The blue trail’s objective is to familiarize the tourists with the issues of woodlands and forest rangers’ scope of work. It shows winter covers, Empetrum Nigrum (from Latin) forest, dune plants and natural features of historic importance. Its goal is also to attract tourists’ attention to the problem of solidifying the sand dunes and enforcing the coastline. Along the trail the tourists can also see an old German cemetery

- orange 22,5 km long – leads through the farm tourism villages of Sasino and Słajszewo. Going along the trail one can admire the remains of a water mill, the Stilo Lighthouse and dwarf mountain pines growing on the sand dunes.
