Stary Bukowiec lies on the Wierzyca in the Pomeranian Voivodeship, in Kościerzyna County and in the area of Stara Kiszewa.

If you would like to organize your stay around observing nature, cycling or historical traces, these themes set different accents in Stary Bukowiec.

Lakes, forests and paths

Stary Bukowiec lies on the northern edge of the Tuchola Forest complex. The surroundings are characterized by lakes and forests; trees, flowers, wildlife and forest fruits are part of the natural landscape. Cycle paths run through the surrounding forests. This creates a landscape that appeals both to those interested in observing nature and to those looking for active days by bicycle. The combination of water, forest and paths helps you first determine your preferred pace when choosing a destination: quiet nature-focused experiences, activity in the open air or a mixture of both.

Regional orientation

Historical traces

The history of the place also complements the nature-focused themes. Stary Bukowiec is associated with a late-Baroque manor house dated to 1682 and the second half of the 19th century, with a half-hipped roof. Historically, Stary Bukowiec is also associated with former manor farms, a mill and a brickworks. Thus, historical architectural and economic traces stand alongside the river, forest and lake landscape. If you view culture not as a separate program but as a complement to days spent in nature, Stary Bukowiec offers several different points of connection for this.

When choosing a hotel in Stary Bukowiec, the focus you want may therefore be decisive. The landscape with the Wierzyca, forests, lakes and cycle paths suggests a different kind of trip planning than exploring the manor house, manor farms, mill and brickworks. This gives you a clear decision based on your travel interests: should the surroundings be experienced through nature and activity, or should the historical development of the place take center stage? Both perspectives are part of the character that emerges from the river landscape and the history of the place.
