Free things to do in Gryfino: Lake Steklno with a bathing area, Grzybno in the Beech Forest and a landscape park in the Oder floodplain, all tagged as free.

The Gryfino municipality lies just beyond Szczecin and has plenty of green space: lakes, forest and the Oder backwaters. The set points to three places tagged as free that suit a half-day outing. The rest of the offer is described in Gryfino: things to do, and free ideas from other corners of the voivodeship sit in the category free attractions of West Pomerania.

Where in the Gryfino area can you spend time at no cost?

By Lake Steklno, in the forest by Grzybno and in the Lower Oder Valley Landscape Park. The first is a bathing spot, the second a quiet place with ancient strongholds, and the third an area for paddlers and bird watchers.

Lake Steklno takes up 47.3 ha on the Wełtyń Plain; on its northern bank operates the only inland bathing spot in the Gryfino municipality. Lake Grzybno, known as Zgniły Grzyb, is smaller, about 10 ha, and lies in the Szczecin Landscape Park Puszcza Bukowa; two early medieval strongholds survive on its bank. The Lower Oder Valley Landscape Park is 6,009 hectares of the Międzyodrze: channels and backwaters, routes for paddlers and a place where wetland birds nest. It was set up on 1 April 1993, and beyond the river begins a German national park.

The fortified towns of the region, Gryfino among them, are presented in Walls and gates of the towns of West Pomerania, an article worth reading in advance.
