Things to do in Tuczno: the Wedel castle on its hill, Lubiatowo lake, a Gothic church and a bat reserve in an old bunker.
Tuczno is a small town in Wałcz county that combines historic buildings with nature. The set includes five places: a castle, a church, a lake, a reserve and a cemetery, so a day here can be split between history and water.
Begin with the castle in Tuczno at Zamkowa 1. It is the Wedel family castle from the fourteenth century, rebuilt after a fire in 1947 between 1966 and 1976, and today a creative work centre with a hotel and restaurant. The site is a steep hill on the neck of land separating Lake Zamkowe from Lake Tuczno, so water views come with the visit. The Wedels ruled here for over four centuries. The article on family castles in Krąg, Tuczno and Resko describes the residences of Pomeranian noble houses, the Wedels among them.
Lubiatowo is a ribbon lake near Tuczno with a bathing area, a campsite and a nature reserve around it, also known as Lake Liptowskie. It is free and suits a solo outing. For something more unusual there is the Strzaliny nature reserve, a faunal reserve in a Pomeranian Wall bunker inside Góra Wisielcza, the fourth largest known bat hibernation site in Poland. Both are free, and the reserve lies in the Tuczno municipality in Wałcz county. The other stops of the set are grouped under places for a solo walk in Tuczno.
The Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary is a late Gothic hall church from 1522 with a Baroque tower from 1670, star vaults, a wooden Pietà and Baroque organs. A separate, factual stop is the Jewish cemetery in Tuczno on Młyńska street, a memorial site from the eighteenth century on a hill behind the mill, with a dozen or so gravestones bearing Hebrew and German inscriptions. The oldest dates from 1788, and the cemetery covers 0.39 ha in the south-western part of town.
The castle on its hill, the hall church of 1522 and Lubiatowo lake with its bathing area. If you like nature, add the Strzaliny reserve with its bat hibernation site, and finish at the Jewish cemetery behind the mill.
