Tuchola Forests – in the labyrinths of nature — strengthening the status of the Tuchola Forests on the tourist map of Poland through the development of tourism infrastructure
The Tuchola Forests are Polish nature in a nutshell. The suffix “-est” or the word “most” can be used to describe the forests, which are the largest ones in Poland, the Brda River, which is one of the most interesting Polish rivers, and canoeing trips, which are in the group of the most beautiful ones. But this is just the foretaste, as these areas will be valued above all by the seekers of inevident attractions.
The Tuchola Poviat focuses strongly on the development of sustainable tourism, as the majority of its area is occupied by landscape parks, reserves and monuments of nature. Hence, the superior objective of the project was to harmonise the tourist functions with nature conservation — the plan was to achieve the maximum tourist effect with the minimum interference with nature. This was to be accomplished to provide tourists with the basic infrastructure and, simultaneously, to protect everything that attracts them to this part of Poland, i.e. silence, humming of the river, pine landscapes and sandy paths.
The host of the Tuchola Forests is nature, but tourists are welcome here as guests. The investments implemented as part of the project enable visitors to comfortably and safely take advantage of the local assets, and, most importantly, the charms of the Brda River. Canoeing trip enthusiasts are offered the following facilities: six waterside hostels with mooring bridges, roofed shelters, bonfire areas and benches, on which the tourists fatigued with paddling, can have a rest. After a many hours’ canoeing trip you can set up a camp on one of three camping sites, equipped with sanitary facilities, caravanning sites, small catering outlets, water equipment rental shops, playing fields and children’s playgrounds.
There is also something for bike enthusiasts — a Tuchola — Świt — Tuchola bike route has been marked out for them. This route enables them to safely get from Tuchola to the nature reserve “The Brda River Valley” and forest areas named “Hell” (“Piekło”), near the forester’s house “Dawn” (“Świt”). Moreover, there are bike racks where cyclists can safely park their vehicles.
Having mass trips in mind, a wooden watch tower in Fojutowo has been constructed. From the height of 30 m one can admire the “labyrinths of nature”, and, in particular, the largest aqueduct in Poland, i.e. a junction of the Great Channel of the Brda River and the Czerska Struga Stream. From here tourists can also see the so-called “speaking stones” that invite them to visit other attractions of the Tuchola Forests, located in this most highly frequented place.
In this very heart of nature, culture has also found its place — three amphitheatres and a centre of tourism and culture have been established. This is where concerts and cultural events are organised, so, apart from the sounds of nature, visitors can also listen to music. All the facilities satisfy the “without barriers” requirement, due to which disabled tourists can easily admire the beauty of the local forests.
