Beach
The beaches around Kopalino are among the most peaceful on the Polish coast. If you don’t like crowds, this place is definitely for you. Our favorite spot is the beach to the east of the main entrance in Kopalino. The easiest way to get there is by bike, following forest paths. Along the way, you’ll pass beautiful seaside woodland scenery, and at the end, you’ll be rewarded with a wide, deserted beach.
If you choose to walk, head toward beach entrance number 39. Then, walking east along the shoreline, you’ll reach the most beautiful beach on the Polish Baltic coast.
Lubiatowskie Dunes
The Lubiatowskie Dunes are an absolute
paradise on earth. If you manage to climb to the top of
one of the dunes, you will see a
coastal forest below you, and behind it, the endless
sea….
Walking or cycling along the beach from Kopalin, head east. After about 4 km, you will reach exit number 36A, directly next to which you will find point number 13 on the “Lubiatowska Dune” nature and forest trail.
If you are going on the trail by car, leave it in Lubiatowo, then walk along Spacerowa Street to the edge of the forest and the no entry sign. From the sign, it is about 2 km (on a closed asphalt road) to point no. 1 on the trail.
Once you reach one of the points on the trail (there are 30 signposts along the entire trail), your adventure will begin. Thanks to the many possibilities for shortening the trail, you can adapt it to your abilities.
Horse stables
If you dream of riding a horse on the beach at sunset, we have good news for you. In summer, Lubiatowo organizes such trips usually every day at 6:00 p.m. There are also trotting rides in the woods and galloping rides for more advanced riders. If you are a beginner, the wonderful team at the stud farm will offer you a training program, and you may be able to go out into the field very soon. We recommend this for adults and children. Everyone will be taken care of, and the activities will be tailored to your skills.
Ciekocinko Palace
Another place where you can perfect your riding skills is Ciekocinko Palace. It is a great destination for fans of equestrian artistry. This is where the international Baltica Tour competitions are held. It all looks like something out of a fairy tale. A wonderful palace with paddocks and horse runs. Next to it are beautifully restored stables, riding halls, and warm-up areas, all of the highest standard. Horses come here from all over the world. Titled riders mount these beauties to compete for another prestigious title. All this takes place in a picnic atmosphere, at least as dignified as your first date outdoors. Outside of the competition season, you can experience this atmosphere by signing up for horse riding lessons. While some are learning, others can take advantage of the palace restaurant and delight their taste buds with exquisite food.
Stilo Lighthouse
The Stilo Lighthouse is located in Osetnik (formerly Stilo). It was built in this area due to the grounding and washing ashore of many ships at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. Throughout its existence, the lighthouse has had the same color scheme of three stripes, from top to bottom: red, white, and black. It was built by the Germans on a foundation of concrete and white granite. It was assembled from prefabricated cast steel elements, bolted together. There are three such structures in the world, two of which are in Europe. It was built on the highest dune in the area, 45 meters above sea level, 900 meters from the coastline. The last German lighthouse keeper, P. Pruztt, worked there until 1945. In 1948, the lighthouse was taken over by Stefan Łozicki, a very colorful character. Awarded the Cross of Valor after the battles of Monte Cassino, he was a radio operator in a tank that pushed an enemy tank into a ravine during the last victorious attack. He worked at the lighthouse for 33 years.
KAYAKING DOWN THE PIAŚNICA RIVER TO THE SEA
The kayaking trail on the Piaśnica River is 7 km long. It starts at the weir on Lake Żarnowieckie. The river meanders lazily on the border of the Piaśnickie Łąki Reserve. Flowing along its natural bed, the Piaśnica River empties into the Baltic Sea at the beach in Dębki. The greatest advantage of canoeing down the Piaśnica River is the combination of activity and relaxation in the bosom of nature. Remember that there are usually two people in a canoe, so when one person is carrying out the first part of the plan, i.e. the activity, you can rest. Sounds like a brilliant plan, right? If you have such a cunning intention, for obvious reasons, take the seat at the back. The trail is very easy, so anyone can cover this section with little effort. We recommend it especially to lovers of coastal nature, families with children (including the youngest ones) and beginner kayakers.
Cycling routes
If you like two wheels, you will certainly not be disappointed. We have a lot of interesting routes, two of which are really long. Route R10 runs around the Baltic Sea, while route R13 will take you from Bulgaria to Finland, through Kopalino of course, and then we will welcome you with bread and salt. If you don’t have such big cycling ambitions, we recommend choosing a shorter section of the route, e.g., west towards Stilo and further to the Sowiński National Park, or simply stopping earlier at the most beautiful beach in Słajszewo. Moving east, you will reach Białogóra and Dębki, among other places.

BREATH INTEGRATION SESSIONS
A breath integration session allows you to release emotions and get in touch with yourself.
A Breath Integration Session is a return to natural, deeper breathing, the way we were born. Healthy, physiological breathing allows us to get closer to our emotions and beliefs, give them the right to exist, and ultimately dissolve them.
Without internal layers of fear, you will experience very pleasant, sometimes even ecstatic sensations.
Each of us is different and needs something different at any given moment, but your own deep breath will know exactly what you need.
