Castle accomodation

Recently I was in castle in Tuczno originally built in medieval times. It is carefully renovated, located among old woods, in the least populated region. The way it looks today is not exactly the way it looked when it was built first – today it’s more renaissance palazzo, as it was rebuilt in that epoch.

The construction of this park started in 1338 by Ludwik and Lamprecht von Wedel mighty German family. It was originally planned as gothic building, where living area was planned in eastern side. It was very strategic castle – Karol IV mentioned it as one of 12 strongest castles located east of river Oder. In 1458 the castle was burned. It was very important stronghold, so there was lots of fighting about it was in possession of many different guys in the course of the history.

In the park around there are old trees and pond with artificial island. If you take a boat available at the reception, you may go under little bridge and in few minutes reach the nearest lake.

The village Tuczno is surprisingly small if you compare it with the castle and the big church located in the center of Tuczno.

There are bicycles to rent at the castle's reception, so you can easily get to the WW2 bunkers available for sightseeing. A group of enthusiasts are also dressed in the uniforms of that time, presenting weapons and telling stories.

Antygravity point!
If you get there please remember about antygravity point in Strączno called Czarodziejska Góra or Diabelska Góra. This is a place where a car with switched off engine is moving up the hill just by itself! Don’t believe it? I saw it with my own eyes last weekend! Two locals that stopped by us curious said, that this place sometimes is more active, sometimes less. One day they saw a bus moving up!

One of the best time to spend in Poland is to travel and find accommodation in the castles.

Railway Station - Stargard Szczeciński

These pictures were taken in July 2009 in Stargard Szczeciński - city in Western Pomerania, north of Poland.

General view from Szczecin direction.

Old train/locomotive is parked at the end of one of the platforms since already few years. So, probably it will be still there when you come to visit.

This is part of my last trip by Intercity train.

Ińsko 70 km East from Szczecin

Ińsko is a beautiful summer resort place in Lake Drawski district, situated in the centre, 80 km far from Szczecin and 80 km far from the Baltic Sea.

Situated in the centre of Lake Iński District, on the south bank of Lake Ińsko, belongs to the prettiest landscape on the West Seaside with waters of the I class purity.
In Lake District it is a city situated on the highest level over the sea (130 m).

The highest lift- off of Ińsko Upland Mount Głowacz (180 m over the sea level), is at the same time a nature reservation and is 7 km far from Ińsko.

This region is called Switzerland of Ińsko.

Unique character, picturesque countrysides, reservations are unusually valuable, with rich fauna and flora. Ińsko Landscape Park was founded 1981. The territory of Ińsko Landscape Park is formed by glacier. Spreading around Lake Ińsko hills which appeared after the glacier create an unforgettable landscape.

Water in the lake is preserved very clean - 1st class.
Ińsko Upland lakes are a real landscape’s ornament. You will be attracted by unusually formed bank’s line of the lake: peninsulas, islands, bays.
Curiosity for tourists’ experts are floating islands on Linówko Lakes and the Stone Bridge. Because of abundance (18 lakes and 45 smaller ones known as a water pond) and variety of the area, Iński Landscape Park is called Blue Lakes District and hills covered with forests.


Ińsko neighbourhoods are known for their numerous archeological excavations and seldom met relics of architecture. There are numerous remains of castles here. It is worth seeing monumental country churches built in the XVIII- XIX centuries and living houses made of stone with characteristic wooden towers.

From the city there are innumerable sightseeing routes in different directions. Amateurs of horse- riding can use riding centre which are 20 km far.

In the village you find: *post office *shops *a petrol station *a pharmacy *medical aid
