Polanow
Accommodation in Polanow
If you want to weigh geological themes, church architecture and religious traditions when choosing a destination, you can consider Polanow as a place to focus on. The boulder park, the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary and a variety of events offer different points of interest.
Boulders and how they formed
The Petrograficzny Park in Polanow presents the subject of boulders through 22 exhibits. Information is provided about their origin, composition and structure. For travellers interested in geology, the focus is therefore not only on the stones themselves, but also on explanations of these three aspects. The park is located on the regional road from Polanow to Bobolice. This location provides a specific reference point for planning your visit.
The transfer centre in Polanow has an information point, a waiting room, luggage storage and bicycle parking. You can take these facilities into account when planning if information, somewhere to wait, luggage storage or bicycle parking is important for your trip.
A church in the heart of Polanow
The Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary is in the heart of Polanow and is visible from all access roads. It dates from the 18th century and has a Neo-Gothic altar. For culturally minded travellers, the date of the church building and the style of the altar are two specific aspects to distinguish when exploring the building. Its central location and visibility also make the church a clearly recognisable landmark in the town.
Religious traditions and events
The Three Kings’ Procession has been held in Polanow since 2013. Its route covers 3 kilometres from Polanow to Święta Góra Polanowska, also known as Polanowskie Betlejem. The procession includes live music, a street theatre nativity play and group carol singing. The route, theatre and music make up different elements of the event; the stated distance also provides a specific point of reference for planning your day.
The Kaszubski Odpust pilgrimage also has a connection with Polanow: it traditionally begins at the statue of Saint Otto. This identifies the pilgrimage’s starting point in the town, without providing details of its further route.
Leisure by the lake and a past motorcycle rally
The landscaped surroundings of Lake Kacze serve as a place for residents and tourists to relax and enjoy leisure activities. If you take this side of Polanow into account when deciding where to travel, you will find a named place for recreation alongside the cultural and religious attractions.
A specific event held in 2026 was the 36th International Motorcycle Rally by the Reservoir. It took place in Polanow from 10 to 12 July 2026. The rally included a traditional motorcycle parade through Polanow, as well as demonstrations and rides on a motocross track.
