Lubusz

The Lubusz Voivodeship brings together interests in nature, culture and food and drink, with a distinctive regional identity: it lies at the intersection of natural north–south and east–west corridors and is considered well connected to the rest of Poland and Europe thanks to its road network. If you are travelling by car, this location provides a basis for regional planning. You can shape your stay around different experiences, including birdlife, architectural history, museums and the wine route.

Nature and birdlife

For nature lovers, “Ujście Warty” National Park is a special point of interest. Its floodplain and northern polder provide a habitat for almost 280 bird species. If you would like to make birdlife a focus of your trip, you can include this national park in your plans and explore Lubusz from the perspective of its natural landscapes.

Underground military history and museums

The Międzyrzecz Fortified Region, also known as the “Dragon’s Teeth,” offers another side of the region. It is Poland’s largest underground fortification system and includes more than 500 structures and around 100 kilometres of underground passageways. Its scale gives this historic site a clearly defined place in your travel plans: the history of an extensive fortification system takes centre stage here. If you prefer cultural and historical topics, you can consider this focus alongside your interests in nature or food and drink.

The Lubuskie Military Museum is located in Drzonów. It is the only historical military museum in the Middle Oder region and one of the largest museums of its kind in Poland. The Lubusz Land Museum in Zielona Góra offers another perspective on the region. Founded in 1908, the museum collects holdings relating to the history, culture and art of Lubusz. Together, the two institutions offer distinct, clearly defined ways to explore the region’s past and culture.

Wine route and regional themes

The Lubuski Szlak Wina i Miodu (Lubusz Wine and Honey Route) comprises 65 stops spread across the region. These include 47 vineyards, apiaries and beekeeping businesses, agritourism businesses and museums, as well as the Lubuskie Centre for Winemaking. The stops represent a range of topics relating to wine, beekeeping and regional culture. A standard visit along the route includes a tour of a winery, information about viticulture and winemaking, and a wine tasting. If you are interested in how wine is made, this visit format offers a concrete insight into several stages, from viticulture to tasting.

Wooden churches and travel planning

Architectural and church history can also be a distinct focus for a trip to Lubusz. The Szlak Kościołów Drewnianych Regionu Kozła (Kozła Region Wooden Churches Route) is a tourist route around 23 kilometres long, passing through Chlastawa, Klępsk and Kosieczyn in Zielona Góra County. It includes three wooden churches built between the 14th and 16th centuries. The approximate route length is a useful reference for your planning; the churches and towns give the route a clear historical focus.

When choosing between a hotel, holiday apartment and holiday home, your preferences for service and planning your days independently may also play a part. This means your search can reflect your travel plans without implying that the different sights form a single route.
