Things to do in Drawno: the Drawa river, Drawa National Park, the ruined castle of the Wedel family by Lake Rudno and a museum in a historic granary.
Drawno lies in the Drawa Forest, on a river that carries one of the more interesting canoe routes in the region. It suits visitors who want to combine time in the forest with a short look around a small town.
Nature is the main reason to come, and both key places carry the free tag.
Drawieński Park Narodowy (Drawa National Park) was established in 1990 in the Drawa Forest. It has a 41-kilometre canoe route along the Drawa, nature trails and beech woods, and its headquarters are in Drawno on Leśników Street. A fuller picture is in the text on the forest by the Drawa.
Drawa is a river 185.9 km long and a canoe route from Czaplinek to Krzyż. The stretch in the national park is open in set periods, and canoeing through the military training ground is banned. Check the dates before you go.
Three places in the centre of Drawno make a short walk: the castle, the church and the granary.
Zamek w Drawnie (Drawno Castle) is the ruin of a knightly castle of the Wedel family from the turn of the 14th century, by Lake Rudno. Fragments of the ground-floor walls survive, and the site has been listed as a monument since 1958. Kościół Matki Bożej Nieustającej Pomocy w Drawnie (Our Lady of Perpetual Help church), standing on Plac Wolności, is a Gothic building from the 1400s, rebuilt after a fire in 1690, with a Baroque altar by Martin Hoffman from 1696.
Muzeum w Spichlerzu w Drawnie (Granary Museum), also called the Gallery of Keepsakes of the Drawa Land, occupies the second floor of a historic granary, within the "Spichlerz" tourist information centre. The exhibition tells the history of the town and area. The region has more such rooms and granaries, as the text on museums of small towns explains. Most places in town carry the Solo tag.
Cmentarz żydowski w Drawnie (Jewish cemetery) was founded in the 19th century on today's Łąkowa Street and was devastated in 1938. The old necropolis no longer exists, and a monument made of recovered fragments of gravestones recalls its fate.
In the morning, walk around the centre: the church on Plac Wolności, the museum in the granary and the way to Lake Rudno and the castle ruin. In the afternoon go to the national park, whose directorate on Leśników Street can help. If you plan a canoe trip, first check which stretches of the Drawa are open.
The castle ruin by Lake Rudno, the church on Plac Wolności and the museum in the granary. All three lie in town.
The directorate of Drawa National Park is in Drawno on Leśników Street.
Yes, it is a canoe route, but the stretch in the park is open in set periods and canoeing through the training ground is banned.
