Kołowo is a village on a wide glade among the woods of the Beech Forest, good for a solo trip: a few hours of quiet and trees, without crowds. The set joins a monument with two trails that you can walk alone. Other places nearby are described under things to do in Kołowo, and other ideas for solo travellers in the solo set for West Pomerania.
Start at the church in the middle of the village, then pick a trail: the shorter red one or the slightly longer black one to the highest hill of the Beech Hills.

The Trail through Słupi Głaz named after Wojciech Lipniacki measures 6.0 km; it begins in Szczecin-Bukowe and leads to the Chojna stronghold site. Both trails carry the tags free and scenic views.
