Things to do in Osów: the ruined Quistorp Tower in Lasek Arkoński, a neo-Gothic church with a timber tower and the Arkonka pool complex.
Osów is a northern district of Szczecin beside Las Arkoński. Its sights lie in the forest and by the water, so plan a day with a longer walk and a swim in season.
The forest holds the ruin of a lookout tower, and the estate has an old church with a timber tower. Both sit next to areas for walking.
Wieża Quistorpa (Quistorp Tower) is the ruin of a lookout tower from 1900-1904 on Arkona Hill, destroyed during the Second World War. Only fragments remain, partly buried in soil and overgrown. Kościół Matki Bożej Bolesnej w Szczecinie (Church of Our Lady of Sorrows) at Miodowa 47 is a small neo-Gothic church from around 1900, with a timber tower from the eighteenth century. Its listing as a monument dates from 2018.
For Arkonka take the number 3 tram to the stop named Las Arkoński, then walk roughly 200 metres. The complex stands at ulica Arkońska 30a.
Arkonka is a swimming and leisure complex: its pools operate between June and September, and there are also sports pitches and courts. It suits a family day outdoors, and forest paths begin right next to it.
The pools at Arkonka run between June and September. Sports pitches and courts are on site as well.
Not entirely: it is a ruin with fragments partly buried in soil. The tower was built in 1900-1904 and destroyed during the Second World War.
