💡 Tips
- Complete the 7km loop around the lake on the flat, paved promenade path, which is excellent for both cyclists and strollers.
- Visit St. Mary’s Church near the market square to see its impressive Gothic brick architecture and high tower.
- Observe the Nowogard Castle only from the outside; it has served as a prison since the 19th century and is closed to the public.
- Take advantage of the local train station for a quick trip to the Baltic coast, with direct links to Kołobrzeg.
- Look for the well-preserved sections of the 14th-century defensive walls in the Municipal Park along the lakeside.
🍽 Food
Potato and cheese dumplings, best found in the traditional eateries around Plac Wolności.
A sour rye soup often served in a hollowed-out loaf of bread, available in the lakeside inns.
Pike or perch caught locally in the lake are served fresh in the seafood spots along the promenade.

The main square featuring small bakeries and shops selling regional crafts and specialties.
A quiet forest area on the northern shore of the lake, accessible via the main promenade loop.
A large park with old-growth trees and benches overlooking the water, great for a peaceful break.
Water temperature…
Nowogard is beautifully situated in the heart of the West Pomeranian Lake District, centered around the expansive Lake Nowogardzkie. The town's history dates back to the 13th century, and fragments of its medieval fortifications and the Church of St. Mary still dominate the skyline. The lake itself is the main draw, offering a variety of water sports, fishing, and a well-equipped town beach with a long wooden pier. The surrounding forests are part of a protected landscape area, handy for birdwatching and long walks. Local restaurants serve fresh fish from the lake and traditional Polish cuisine. The best time to visit is during the summer months when the town hosts various cultural festivals and the water is warm enough for swimming. Nowogard is conveniently located on the main road and rail line between Szczecin and the Baltic coast.
