Maybe sometimes you feel like spending time a bit differently? Have fun, sightsee, go on a hike, a family bike trip, or... while at the sea, conquer a mountain peak?

What to do with kids on Wolin Island?

5. Go on a hike along the colorful trail

e.g. a section of the blue trail between the Turquoise Lake in Wapnica and the Lubin Hillfort. This route is an easy walk for the whole family: only 2 km (about 1 hour) one way. Along the way, we have as many as 3 viewpoints, 2 restaurants, and a playground:

Unfortunately, we don't have good news here... Trails can be steep, and paths are sandy.

Apart from typical seaside walks on promenades, we recommend the green pedestrian-bicycle trail Międzyzdroje - Warnowo:
