The 15th Meridian Obelisk is a boulder with a grid of meridians and parallels on its top and a commemorative plaque stating that Stargard lies exactly 15 degrees east of the Prime Meridian in Greenwich. The obelisk itself is located about 220 meters west of the actual 15th meridian, which is due to imprecise measurements during its location.

The Szczecin Landscape Park "Puszcza Bukowa" covers an area of about 15 km in length and 10 km in width, stretching along the southern borders of Szczecin, all the way to the Płonia River in the east. Most of this area is occupied by the Bukowe Hills covered with the Bukowa Forest. The northern and central part of the forest is the most elevated and undulating, with a varied terrain, with high and steep hills cut by ravines and valleys through which forest rivers and streams flow. The flora of the Bukowa Forest includes about 1,250 species of plants, including 53 species under full protection. In the forest we can also find about 140 species of birds, a dozen or so species of mammals and several species of reptiles. Among the birds we can meet the black stork, white-tailed eagle, lesser spotted eagle and red kite. There is also a very rich butterfly fauna, about 400 species.

The Osetno nature reserve was established on November 14, 2008 and covers an area of 111.59 ha. Osetno is a forest reserve, but at the same time one of the first mycological reserves in Poland, i.e. protecting rare and endangered species of fungi.

The Szczecin Landscape Park "Puszcza Bukowa" is a vast forest complex on the outskirts of Szczecin, ideal for peaceful bike trips along gentle but sometimes sandy trails. The biggest attractions are the vast beech forests, picturesque hills and deep ravines, which look particularly impressive in autumn. It is worth visiting viewpoints such as Góra Bukowiec and stopping at Lake Szmaragdowe, which delights with the intense colour of its water. The trails in the Forest are well marked, but after rain they can be slippery, so tires with better tread are recommended.

Several boulders collected from the surrounding fields. They lie next to the palace, behind the hedge. They are easy to miss. On one of them there is a plaque with the logo of the Experimental Station of the Institute of Zootechnics. The plaque was made in 1987, commemorating the 20th anniversary of this institution.

This is where the beautiful landscape park begins. The small villages you drive through make you feel like you are back in the days gone by.

Boulders placed near the palace, including: the natural monument Miedwieński Kamień (Devil's Stone) with a circumference of 9.0 m and a height of 2.2 m, with a plaque from 1973 commemorating the 800 years of Kołbacz, another boulder with a circumference of 10.4 m and a height of 1.55 m, with a plaque from 1985 on the occasion of the 40th . anniversary of the return of Western Pomerania to the Motherland. The boulders were brought from nearby fields.

The monument was erected in the interwar period. It has the form of an erratic stone with an image of a grid of meridians and parallels on the top and a plate informing that Stargard is located exactly 15 degrees east of the Prime Meridian, running through the London suburb of Greenwich, which is the basis for determining Central European Time (CET). In 1996 the monument was restored. The area around the monument is landscaped and is surrounded by a wreath of 6 chestnut trees. Although the monument is called the 15th Meridian, it is actually located approximately 200 m west of the meridian. This is due to the inaccuracy of surveying equipment at the time the monument was erected.
