Things to do in Stare Czarnowo: lakes of the Bukowa Forest, the Źródliskowa Buczyna and Osetno reserves and a church from the 16th century.
The Stare Czarnowo municipality lies in the Bukowa Forest, right next to Szczecin. It suits walkers and cyclists who want forest, water and trails, without entry fees.
The lakes lie deep in the forest and all carry the free tag. A fuller list is in the set of lakes in Stare Czarnowo.
Glinna Wielka covers 75.6 ha on the southern edge of the Bukowa Forest. It has a hillfort and a junction of trails in the Łużec clearing. Jezioro Binowskie (Lake Binowo) has a beach, holiday centres and trails from Binowo. Piasecznik Duży, also called Kizik's Lake, is a closed-basin lake of 14.8 ha with viewpoints, a holiday centre and trails. If views matter, see the list of beautiful views in Stare Czarnowo.
Rezerwat przyrody Źródliskowa Buczyna (Spring Beech Forest reserve) is a forest reserve of 155 ha with a trail junction and an educational path with 12 stops. Rezerwat przyrody Osetno lies in the eastern part of the forest, about 3 km north of Stare Czarnowo and 2.5 km west of Kołbacz. It is one of the first mycological reserves in Poland, and a green trail crosses it. More is on the page of nature in Stare Czarnowo.
Kościół Matki Bożej Wspomożenia Wiernych w Starym Czarnowie (Church of Our Lady Help of Christians) on Szczecińska Street is a brick church from the 16th century, rebuilt in 1826, with a wooden tower set into the nave. Most places carry the Solo tag, and free options are on the list of free attractions.
Separately, a factual note: Niemiecki cmentarz wojenny w Glinnej (German war cemetery) on the forest edge is a collective cemetery of German soldiers and civilian victims of the Second World War, run by the Volksbund.
Glinna Wielka and the Źródliskowa Buczyna lie close together, because the reserve partly occupies a hollow by Lake Glinna, so it is easy to make one route of them. The Łużec clearing is a junction of trails from which you can go further. Piasecznik Duży lies in the central part of the Bukowe Hills and Osetno nearer Kołbacz, so these two deserve separate outings. Lake Glinna belongs to the Szczecin Landscape Park "Puszcza Bukowa".
