Things to do alone in Złocieniec: castle ruins on the Drawa, a 15th-century brick church and the Jezioro Czarnówek reserve with a walking trail.
Złocieniec is the former Falkenburg, and the three places tagged solo combine ruins, a sacred monument and nature. It is a good set for a day on your own. Other sights are under things to do in Złocieniec, and more for a lone traveller under solo in West Pomerania.
How to spend a day alone in Złocieniec?
Start in town, with the castle and the church, and go to the reserve in the afternoon. The first two places lie in the centre, the reserve about 4.5 km to the north.
The Ruins of the castle in Złocieniec stand on a bluff above the Drawa. Of the late Gothic stronghold only the cellars remain, along with a park lined with elms. At Kościelna 1 stands the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Złocieniec at Kościelna 1, a brick building from the 1400s that is in the register of monuments. The Jezioro Czarnówek Nature Reserve protects 11.88 ha of water and a lobelia lake; the protection is strict, and a marked green footpath skirts it.

What can you see of the Złocieniec castle today?
Chiefly the Gothic cellars and the castle park with its elm avenue, on a bluff above the Drawa. The castle was ruined after the Second World War.
Can you enter the Jezioro Czarnówek reserve?
The reserve is under strict protection. A green walking trail goes round it on two sides, so you see the lake from the trail.
