A unique place in the region – right next to our hotel
There are places you simply must see with your own eyes. The Promenade by Lake Słupeckie is exactly such a place. Modern, architecturally bold, and exceptional on the scale of the entire Wielkopolska region – it attracts tourists, delights experts, and has continued to impress since its opening day. And all of this is just a few steps from our hotel. Designed by renowned architect Paweł Grobelny, the promenade is not merely recreational infrastructure – it is a carefully conceived space that combines nature with modern design, and everyday relaxation with an exceptional aesthetic experience. Lake Słupeckie has gained a new face, and Słupca – a new landmark on Poland's tourist map.
Circular piers – architecture that surprises
While most piers extend straight across the lake, this one went its own way – literally and figuratively.
The distinctive circular viewing piers are an element that immediately catches the eye and remains in memory for a long time. Their unconventional form – departing from the established patterns of straight walkways and traditional jetties – was a conscious architectural choice from the start. The goal is not only for guests to reach the lake, but to stop, look around, and truly experience the place.
Walking along the circular platforms, you have the impression of standing almost in the middle of the lake. The panoramic view of the water surface, surrounding meadows, and sunsets makes every time of day exceptional here – early morning with mist rising over the water, hot midday sun reflecting on the lake, or evening when the promenade begins to glow with its own illuminated radiance.
The circular pier design has earned recognition in the world of architecture and design. Publications such as Architectural Digest Polska, WhiteMAD, Label Magazine, and Bryła.pl have written about it – which speaks volumes about its uniqueness. In 2024, the piers were honored with the prestigious Property Design Award, confirming that beauty and functionality can go hand in hand.
Heated pool in the lake – luxury amid nature
It sounds like a dream – and that is exactly what it is.
In the heart of Lake Słupeckie, surrounded by natural water, there is a heated pool – a solution unique in the entire region. The combination of warm water comfort with the wildness and expanse of an open lake creates an experience that cannot be found anywhere else in the area.
The pool is available regardless of weather conditions. Even when the air temperature does not encourage bathing in the lake’s natural waters, here you can immerse yourself in pleasantly heated water and enjoy the view of the open lake and blue sky above. It is an ideal place for both morning exercise and an evening relaxing swim after a long day of sightseeing or work.
After dusk, the pool takes on an entirely new character – illuminated from within, it shimmers against the dark surface of the lake and creates a unique, almost magical atmosphere. It is no wonder that TOK FM described it as “the only place of its kind in the region,” and WerandaWeekend.pl and Zwielkopolski24.pl dedicated extensive features to it.
Promenade – a space for everyone
The Promenade by Lake Słupeckie is more than just a pool and piers. It is a thoughtfully designed, complete recreational space that invites you to spend the entire day here – from dawn to dusk. Wide walking paths run along the lakeshore, offering peaceful routes for morning jogging, family walks with children, or romantic evening strolls. Benches and seating areas are positioned to always provide a view of the lake. Greenery, water, and modern architecture together create a space where you simply want to be – without haste, without a plan, without a smartphone. The promenade is open and accessible year-round, though each season gives it a different character. In spring, it delights with the freshness of awakening nature; in summer, it pulses with life and summer bathing; in autumn, it offers atmospheric walks among changing colors; and in winter – when the lake is covered with ice – it becomes a place of exceptional silence and tranquility.
