Discover Stojcino: the Łupawa, trails and nature

In Stojcino, several ways to experience the Łupawa and its surroundings come together, on foot, by bike or on the water. The village is located in the buffer zone of Słowiński National Park. When planning your trip, the key distinction is between a trail with a specified walking time, a cycling route and a multi-day water trail.

Hiking the Łupawa Valley Trail

The blue Łupawa Valley Trail runs from Gardna Wielka via Smołdzino and Stojcino, continuing towards Drzeżewo. It is 30 km long, with six hours allocated for the route. The trail is of moderate difficulty. These details give you a concrete framework for planning a day hike: you can consider the distance, estimated time and difficulty together, without equating the trail with a shorter paddling route or a cycling route.

Stojcino therefore lies along the valley trail and is a named point between Smołdzino and Drzeżewo. If you are interested in this route, you can include its full course from Gardna Wielka in your plans. The six hours refer to the Łupawa Valley Trail; this is not the time given for the other routes around Stojcino.

Cycling the R-10

The R-10 cycling route also passes through Stojcino: from there, it runs via Siecie towards Smołdzino. The route is 45 km long, with two hours and 50 minutes allocated for it; its difficulty is moderate. The R-10 therefore offers its own basis for trip planning. Its length and estimated time differ from those given for the 30 km Łupawa Valley Trail, even though both routes are classified as moderately difficult.

The time given applies to the R-10 and should not be interpreted as the walking time for the valley trail. Both routes pass through Stojcino, but they are designed for different ways of travelling: one is designated as a cycling route, the other as a hiking trail.

Water hiking on the Łupawa

For a multi-day trip, consider the Łupawa water trail. It runs through Stojcino between Czarny Młyn and Smołdzino, is 37 km long and is highly challenging. Two to three days are allocated for the route. This tour therefore differs from both the blue Łupawa Valley Trail and the R-10 in terms of duration and difficulty. If you are looking for accommodation for a stay in Stojcino, these details can help you first choose between hiking, cycling and a challenging water trail.

There is also a specific example of a kayak trip along the lower Łupawa: from Stojcino, you can reach Lake Gardno within a few kilometres. This short distance refers to reaching the lake by kayak; it should not be confused with the 37 km length of the water trail. This allows you to consider the described kayak trip and the multi-day route as different paddling options.

Choose the right trip idea

The different details apply to their respective routes and together give a varied picture of the trails through Stojcino.
