Welcome to school holidays. You've probably never attended such a relaxation school before. We have everything you need to learn to relax here. Sauna, jacuzzi, hammocks, comfortable sofas, bicycles, games and beautiful nature around.
Lubuskie is the voivodeship with the largest forest cover in Poland. We also have a lot of water here, because the Lubusz Land is called the land of two hundred lakes. There are also rivers and canals. It so happens that Stara Szkoła is located right on the border of the Lubusz and Greater Poland Voivodeships, so you can freely draw from the wealth of both. To breathe in the essential oils of the pine forest, just go 'beyond the fence', where there are countless paths, perfect for hiking/cycling. Many of these roads will lead you to two nearby lakes - Wilcze and Orchowe. The beach (sandy with a pier) on Lake Orchowe is about 2 km away. A similar road takes you to Lake Wilcze. There, it is worth spreading a blanket on the grassy bank near the fishing pier. When you go by bike to the lake, we recommend hitting the canal connecting the two lakes. It is an extremely picturesque place.
Bicycles are available on site, so if you do not have any special cycling requirements, you can use our tourists. A very interesting and at the same time easy to follow bicycle route, "Railway to Bike", is a great idea for a family trip around the Nowa Sól district. A ride along a disused railway line can be a real treat for adventure lovers. During a short trip you can learn about the interesting history of the region, see interesting monuments and relax in the bosom of nature.
Like water, there are kayaks. One of the most interesting local rafting trips is the Lubusz Water Trail. Its approximate length is 220 km and it takes approximately 10 days to complete it. But don't worry, you can row only a fragment. To put it very simply, the trail starts in Sława (Sławskie Lake) and ends in Santok, where the Noteć flows into the Warta.
You can also go rafting in the immediate vicinity, e.g. Obrzyca (Uście (beach) - Kargowa (recreational area)), Obra from Kopanica to Nowa Wieś Zbąska or the trail along the Southern Canal of the Obra, which starts in the Bonikowski Junction and ends in Uściu.
It is also worth going for a walk to the Lubsko Forest District to see the extraordinary Dancing Pines. The forest is protected as a surface natural monument "Candelabra". Trees bent in an unnatural way intrigue many people. Apparently, phone batteries discharge faster here. Maybe it's a magnetic field, maybe a UFO, or maybe some soil deficiency? There are several hypotheses for the unusual bending of tree trunks. Most likely, however, German foresters shaped them in such a way as to obtain material for bent furniture. To see the forest, you need to cover an approximately kilometer-long route from the Sports and Recreation Center - on foot or by bike. (access: GPS coordinates: 51.9563224924513, 15.538847293593653).
The steam locomotive parade in Wolsztyn (approx. 26 km from us) is an event worth attending. It usually takes place on May Day and is one of the most important railway events in Poland and Europe and a unique event on the continent. The Wolsztyn locomotive shed is the last locomotive shed that supports scheduled passenger services by steam traction on a normal track. You can also visit the locomotive shed every day. It is especially worth coming here on weekdays from 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., that is, when the museum hall is open and current workshop work is carried out, and when the most activity is happening with steam locomotives - inspections and repairs take place and you can observe them. And when a steam locomotive that has just finished working arrives at the locomotive shed. Please check the current timetable to find this event. This is when traditional maintenance of the steam locomotive takes place (ash removal, coal and water refilling, lubrication).
For lovers of views and heights, we recommend a trip to the observation tower in Świętno. About 1 km from the parking lot, there is a tower in the forest. Standing underneath it, you may get the impression that it is not that high at all, but halfway to the top, you will see that there are many more stairs. However, the views from the top make up for the hardships of climbing. The panorama is breathtaking. If the weather is good, you can see the academy in Poznań, approximately 70 km away, and Zielona Góra (approximately 45 km). It is best to take good binoculars with you to get the most out of the views.
If that wasn't enough, we offer you the opportunity to ride horses at a friendly ranch and a unique offer of a trip to the forest with an experienced beekeeper as a guide.
When you come back from the beach or trips, you can play volleyball or badminton on the pitch, sit by the bonfire or jump into the ball.
