Attractions and Places To See around Dąbie - Top 17

Wreck spectacularly tilted, a graceful object for photos, apparently people peek inside, but the view from the bike is enough for me :)

The marina and the adjacent beach are nicely developed. Be careful, the shop nearby had a sign "cash only", I don't know if this is permanent or just when I was there

Rest stop on the Blue Velo route. Popular not only with cyclists, but also with barbecue enthusiasts.

One of numerous bathing spots.

Yesterday I carried the bike down and back, but it was difficult.

So, you're riding along an embankment... it slopes downhill to the right and left. The small gravel stones tend to be pushed aside by the many bicycle tires, where they accumulate. If you're daydreaming or distracted by the beautiful scenery, you might encounter this layer of gravel at the wrong angle and slip away. Then you can either choose to end up in the ditch or crash-land on the path... So, don't daydream, don't go so fast, and maybe don't inflate your tires quite so much. Otherwise, a great trail!

Concrete ship "Ulrich Finsterwalder" on Lake Dąbie Concrete ships were built mainly in the shipyard in Darłowo due to wartime restrictions on steel consumption. One of them, "Ulrich Finsterwalder" with a length of 90 meters, a width of 15 meters and a depth of 6.5 meters and a volume of 2947 BRT, made its first voyage in August 1944. It belonged to the Szczecin-based Lubberl & CO shipping company. It was a tanker that transported synthetic gasoline from the synthetic gasoline factory in Police to Świnoujście. It was bombed by the Soviet Air Force in the port of Szczecin on March 20, 1945. After the end of the war, the wreck was towed to Inoujście and sunk. At the end of the 1970s and the beginning of the 1980s, the wreck was raised at the A. Warski shipyard on the initiative of the diving club and its transport to Dąbie began, where it was to be used as a swimming pool. However, for technical reasons, the implementation of the idea was interrupted and the ship was transported again to Inoujście, where it was placed on a shallow area and became a tourist attraction. The last part of the journey is a bit adventurous, but at the end of the journey you will be rewarded.

The catamaran wreck is located near the marina in Lubczyn on Lake Dąbie (the lake itself lies within the borders of Szczecin and is the fourth largest lake in Poland). The unit belonged to Jacek Kwiatkowski, a sailor and social activist particularly well-known to the local community. His story was covered by the Szczecin media years ago. Today, few people remember her. “The catamaran of Szczecin sailor Jacek Kwiatkowski has been stuck aground near Lubczyna for over a year. The man lost his life's belongings and became homeless," wrote "Głos Szczeciński" in the summer of 2011. As Jacek Kwiatkowski told journalists then, he used all his savings to build the catamaran, he also sold his apartment, and the unit became his home. Interestingly, the catamaran was also an ecological laboratory where he wanted to conduct social educational activities. The sailor was supposed to stay for free at a nearby marina, but, as the newspaper described, at one point he was asked to pay and, despite his declaration of settling the bills, Kwiatkowski was ordered to leave the port. When he showed up at the marina after a few days of absence, the unit was gone. "The Floating Ecological Laboratory (..) was kidnapped and destroyed by hostile people," wrote another regional daily, "Kurier Szczeciński." The drifting catamaran ran aground and remains there to this day. Almost immediately it was looted and robbed of its equipment. Jacek Kwiatkowski never regained the unit. The sailor died in 2018.
