The whole town is shown in Gryfino: what to see, and other trips for people travelling alone are gathered in the category solo in West Pomerania.
How to spend a solo day in Gryfino?
Give the morning to the church in town and the rest of the day to the lakes. The monument complements a forest outing by showing the town itself, not only its surroundings.
The oldest church in town is the Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Gryfino on Kościelna street. Its Gothic walls date from the 1260s-1270s, and in the 1400s the naves were joined into a hall. Inside you will see a Renaissance stone pulpit of 1605 and 16th-century choir stalls. A few kilometres on lies Lake Steklno with a bathing spot on its northern bank, and in the Beech Forest Grzybno, or Zgniły Grzyb, a small lake with two early medieval strongholds and an ecological site.
The walls and gates of neighbouring towns are covered in Walls and gates of the towns of West Pomerania: Gryfice, Trzebiatów, Goleniów, Gryfino, a useful read beforehand.
