Kashubian Landscape Park
Kashubian Landscape Park is located 50 km west from Gdansk. It was established in 1983 and covers central area of Kashubian land. This place is worth visiting because of the abundance of flora and fauna, diversity of landscape and many tourist tracks and paths. Among special tracks you can find one car route, two hiking trails, several cycling trails, canoe and Nordic Walking trails and ski lifts. Exploring this huge area of the Park you can visit some precious fragments of natural and cultural landscape such as the Łeba Valley, many lakes and forest terrains. In the Park there are some educational paths which aim is to make people aware of the necessity of our natural enviroment protections. If you are a fan of canoeing you can decide on four special conoe trails which go through many lakes. They have also good tourist infrastructure with resorts and marinas. One of the most interesting canoe trails is the so-called 'Kolko Radunskie' which contains ten lakes connected with the Radun River. Among hiking trails there are the Trail of Szymbarskie Hills and the Kashubian Trail. Both trails cover the distance of approx. 60 km. If it comes to the cycling tracks, besides the main route in the Kashubian Landscape Park there are ten tracks which include many places such as lakes, forests and nature reserves. The total length of the tracks is about 120 km. Most of them are long sections of bike trails, which only partially lead through the park. Only three of them are entirely located in the boundaries of the Park. Side trails are connected to each other and to the main routes and give the opportunity to explore the lesser-known places, what doesn't mean that less attractive.
