Reda – Urstromtal, hiking trail and aquapark
Accommodation in Reda
Reda is located in the Pradolina Redy-Łeby, the Reda-Łeba Urstromtal. The town’s location gives it a distinct landscape setting, along with a range of things to explore: nature and hiking, water attractions, art in the library and historic architecture. If you are looking for more than just a beach or coastal resort for your stay and would also like to consider a variety of destinations, Reda offers several specific points of interest.
Landscape and hiking trail
The forests southwest of Reda are within the protected Trójmiejski Park Krajobrazowy Landscape Park. This setting gives the surrounding area its own natural and scenic character. For a longer hike, the blue trail at the edge of Kępa Pucka is worth exploring: it runs along the northwestern outskirts of Reda and covers 32 kilometres from Wejherowo via Mrzezino to Puck. Reda therefore lies on one stage of a route connecting several towns. The total distance should be taken into account when planning a hike; the places along the route also show that it extends beyond the town limits.
Another notable spot is the viewpoint at the end of Jarej Street. It is located at around 70 metres above sea level. Together with the hiking trail, it offers a nature and outdoor experience distinct from the attractions at the aquapark: the focus here is on a named hiking route and a specific viewpoint, not a water course or pool.
Water attractions at Aquapark Reda
Aquapark Reda offers attractions of different types and sizes. The River Expedition is a 315-metre-long water course. AquaSpinner is a rotating waterslide, marketed as the first of its kind in Europe. These two features are easy to distinguish when planning a visit: the River Expedition is defined by the length of its course, while AquaSpinner is distinguished by its rotation and its special marketing as a waterslide.
Volcano is a whirlpool for up to 24 people. Pirate Bay, on the other hand, is described as a pool for small children: it is 30 centimetres deep and features a pirate ship and seven slides. These details make the differences between the various areas clear without conflating them. Visitors who are particularly interested in water attractions can choose between a course, a slide, a whirlpool or a shallow pool with play features.
Library, art and architectural history
Culture enthusiasts will also find specific points of interest in Reda. The Miejska Biblioteka Publiczna houses a permanent exhibition of wooden sculptures by folk artist Izajasz Rzepa. The public library’s main building also houses the “W Hirkowej Izbie” gallery. The exhibition and gallery represent two different kinds of cultural offering at the library: wooden sculptures on permanent display and a gallery located there.
Architectural landmarks include the neo-Gothic church on Gdańska Street. Reda’s historic railway station building dates from 1870. It was built according to the larger of two standardised station designs for the Słupsk–Gdańsk line. Those interested in architectural history can explore a specific building with a precise construction date and a documented connection to a particular design. Together with the church, the station building expands the options beyond nature and leisure attractions to include two distinct architectural points of interest.
