Recreation

Our town offers attractive places for leisure and recreation.

 


The inhabitants and tourists may use the newly-built sports complex at Szpitalna Street. This 40,000-square-meter complex includes two swimming pools: a 25-meter-long sports pool and a recreational one with many attractive features: a 63-meter-long slide, rapids, lashes, massages, and geysers.
Tennis lovers have 4 courts at their disposal, including two indoor ones, and a wall for practice. In addition, anyone may play beach volleyball, basketball, and mini-golf. Youngsters may learn to swim in a paddling pool or use the playground.
Near the complex is the municipal lake – a perfect spot for strolling or cycling on separate bike routes. For those who prefer water sports, the facility offers boat rentals. This is also the ideal place for anglers, who may spend their time performing their favourite activity.

Next to the lake there is a stud farm with the biggest stable in Europe, built in 1877. It is 200 meters long. Contests, tournaments and shows organised here are famous nationwide and even abroad. The Kętrzyn Stud Farm offers horseback riding, carriage rides and the possibility to learn how to ride.

The most important sports events organised in Kętrzyn include: the National Jerzy Żwirko Cycling Contest, Budo Gala of Fighting, horse shows, Airplane Festival at the nearbyWilamowo Airfield, and also national pool and billiards events.
Baltic Billiard Centre (BCB) is the first institution of international nature in the territory of Baltic states. The main idea behind creating the Centre is integration of Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Belarus, Russia and Poland. The billiard-room is equipped with 9 professional carom-billiards tables. Polish Billiard Association took BCB under its wings by giving the Centre a certificate. Multiple events are organized in the facility, such as Polish Grand Prix: three-cushion carom.

If you desire less active forms of relaxation, you can find many beauty spots where you can rest after a long day. Apart from the municipal lake mentioned above, you may also relax in the park neighbouring the sports and recreational complex. The Rose Garden at Daszyńskiego Street blooms beautifully year after year, while inside an illuminated fountain creates a pleasant evening atmosphere. Fountains are present in most parks and squares of Kętrzyn, and they are its visiting card. There are eight of them, and the last word has not been said yet …
