Seaside recreation -. from beach to park
The heart of Kolobrzeg is its famous pier, along with the surrounding infrastructure. Kolobrzeg's 220-meter-long pier is not only a vantage point, but also a great place for a stroll or a photo session. There is an entrance fee to the pier, but those with a tourist tax can enter free of charge after showing a certificate from the hotel. This is an ideal place for a morning or evening stroll, when you can admire the sunrise or sunset over the Baltic Sea.
Directly next to the pier is the Stefan Zeromski Park - a green oasis in the center of the city. The park offers shade on hot days, as well as well-maintained walking and biking paths. It's the perfect place to relax after a beach or physical activity. There are numerous benches in the park, as well as toilets (payable at $4). It is especially worth visiting the park in the morning or late afternoon, when it is less crowded and you can enjoy nature in peace.
For adrenaline lovers, a great option is the Kolobrzeg Rope Park located in the Theater Park. It offers three routes of varying levels of difficulty - from an easy one for the youngest to a challenging route for the advanced. Professional staff with an instructor ensures safety, and prices are affordable. The park is especially recommended for families with children over 5 years old. It is worth reserving about 2-3 hours for this attraction.
Active recreation for everyone
Colobrzeg also offers great opportunities for two-wheeled enthusiasts. The Sianożęty-Kolobrzeg bike path is a scenic route along the coast. It is part of the R-10 international bicycle route and offers beautiful views of the sea and surrounding nature. The route is well-marked and well-maintained, ideal for both short rides and longer trips. There are rest points along the route with shelters and bike racks. It is best to plan a ride in the morning or afternoon, especially during the summer season when there is less tourist traffic.
For those who prefer to be active in the water, a great option is the MOSiR Millennium Swimming Pool at 38 Lopuskiego St. The complex offers a variety of water attractions: sports pool, recreational pool, slides and Jacuzzi. In addition, saunas - dry and steam - are available to guests. The facility is suitable for families with children - there is a special paddling pool for the youngest. It is worth remembering that there are often school activities in the mornings, so it is best to plan a visit for the afternoon or evening.
When planning an active holiday in Kolobrzeg, it is worth remembering to prepare properly. You should take a helmet, water and energy snacks on your bike. For the beach and the park, UV sunscreen, headgear and comfortable shoes will come in handy. For the pool, a bathing suit, flip-flops and a towel will be essential. Most of the attractions are available all year round, but the best conditions are from May to September.
Practical tips for the active
When planning an active weekend in Kolobrzeg, it is worth paying attention to several practical aspects. The city is well connected - the train station is in the center, about a 15-minute walk from the beach. During the summer season (June-August), most attractions are open extended hours, but it's always a good idea to check the current opening hours on the websites of individual facilities.
If you're staying with children, it's best to plan alternating activities - for example, start with the beach and pier in the morning, enjoy the pool or rope park at noon, and set aside the afternoon for a bike ride or walk in the park. Most attractions offer discounts for children and family tickets.
During the summer season, it's a good idea to reserve a spot at the rope park or pool in advance. When planning bicycle routes, take into account that during peak hours (10am-4pm) the paths can be crowded. It's best to go for a ride in the early morning or late afternoon.
Also remember to wear adequate sunscreen - even on cloudy days the UV rays at the seaside are intense. It's a good idea to have a supply of water with you, especially during physical activity. In case of a sudden change in the weather, the city offers many alternative indoor activities, such as swimming pools and entertainment centers.
