Polanow: Erratic Boulder Park, Church and Lake Kacze
Accommodation in Polanow
Polanow offers several reasons to visit: a church that serves as a prominent landmark, a park centred around erratic boulders, the landscaped surroundings of Lake Kacze, and events with religious and cultural connections. If you are looking for a destination whose appeal is not limited to a single theme, you will find several specific starting points here for planning your trip.
The church and finding your way around
The Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary is in the heart of Polanów and is visible from all approach roads. It is a clear landmark on arrival, combining a central location with a distinctive appearance. The church dates from the 18th century; inside is a Neo-Gothic altar. The period in which it was built and the design of the altar provide distinct architectural accents. When planning your trip, the church is therefore both a specific place of cultural interest and a useful reference point if you want to explore the townscape.
Erratic boulders as a theme in their own right
The Petrograficzny Park in Polanowie is devoted to erratic boulders. Its 22 boulder exhibits are accompanied by information about their origins, composition and structure. This means the focus is not only on the stones themselves, but also on their different features and the explanations provided. If you enjoy exploring nature and factual subjects, this park offers a clearly defined activity. Its location on the regional road from Polanów to Bobolice also provides a specific reference point for locating the park in the town and its surroundings.
Relaxing by the lake and practical facilities
The landscaped area around Lake Kacze serves as a place for relaxation and leisure for residents and tourists. Time by the lake offers a different experience from the cultural and themed attractions. For travellers who want to explore while also making time for more leisurely activities during their stay in Polanow, this distinction between sightseeing and relaxation is a useful guide.
The Polanów Transport Interchange Centre has an information point, a waiting room, luggage storage and bicycle parking. Together with the church, which is visible from the centre, and the location of the erratic boulder park, these provide several specific reference points that can help you find your way around the town.
Traditions and events
The Three Kings’ Procession has been held in Polanów since 2013. It features live music, a street theatre Nativity play and group singing of Christmas carols. The route runs for three kilometres from Polanów to Święta Góra Polanowska, also known as Polanowskie Betlejem.
The Kaszubski Odpust pilgrimage is also among the religious traditions associated with Polanów. It traditionally begins at the statue of Saint Otto in Polanów.
Another event with a specific date was the 36th International Motorcycle Rally at the Reservoir 2026. It took place in Polanów from 10 to 12 July 2026. That year’s programme included a traditional motorcycle parade through Polanów, as well as demonstrations and rides on a motocross track.
