Stobnica controversy.

On the outskirts of the Notecka Forest, about 1 hour northwest of our flat, there is a unique building. With its towers and bastions, it dominates the forest and the reservoir. Although there are rumors that it is located on an island, the Stobnica Castle is actually an island itself.

The castle in Stobnica is over 70 meters high and about 200 meters long. The building has 15 floors, and the height of each of them is equal to two standard floors in a typical residential building.

This extraordinary building and the area around it are the result of the work of a group of people fascinated by castle architecture, who created a residential building with such unusual architecture today. The entire body of water surrounding the Castle was also created, with a natural coastline and numerous islands.

Thanks to the kindness of the investors of the Stobnica Castle, you can visit its surroundings and learn many interesting facts about the building itself and the surrounding fauna and flora. The Forest Educational Trail in Stobnica includes a picturesque trail through the forest, the waterfront, and the castle grounds.

From the pictures, it looks like the paths are covered with level boards which should make it easier for me to push Joan. Twalk around the grounds takes 1 1/2 hours so I think we could do that. Maybe I will even take lunch with us.

What you just read was from the website, Stobnica-艢cie藕ka Edukaczyna. It is obviously all promotional in its content. However, there were and still are many people who were opposed to the building of this "castle".  You can read their comments as to why on Facebook at Ciekawa Wielkopolska-Marcin Walkowiak. He recently made the walk around the building and took excellent photographs. A few example comments; "Even though Marcin Walkowiak's photos were excellent, it still makes you want to puke just from looking at this circus. Pity the biodiversity lost irretrievably".  "Scandal!!! Will someone finally answer for the devastation of nature and destruction of water and forest". "And such activities are legal? I remember the wolves in Stobnica, I was there more than 20 years ago! What came to pass: a toll path through the cleared forest, overlooking the castle? Unbelievable!".

Na obrze偶ach Puszczy Noteckiej, oko艂o 1 godziny drogi na p贸艂nocny zach贸d od naszego mieszkania, znajduje si臋 wyj膮tkowa budowla. Ze swoimi wie偶ami i bastionami dominuje nad lasem i zbiornikiem wodnym. Chocia偶 kr膮偶膮 pog艂oski, 偶e znajduje si臋 na wyspie, zamek w Stobnicy sam jest wysp膮. 

Zamek w Stobnicy ma ponad 70 metr贸w wysoko艣ci i oko艂o 200 metr贸w d艂ugo艣ci. Budynek ma 15 pi臋ter, a wysoko艣膰 ka偶dego z nich jest r贸wna dw贸m standardowym pi臋trom w typowym budynku mieszkalnym.

Ten niezwyk艂y budynek i teren wok贸艂 niego to efekt pracy grupy ludzi zafascynowanych architektur膮 zamkow膮, kt贸rzy stworzyli budynek mieszkalny o tak niezwyk艂ej dzi艣 architekturze. Powsta艂 r贸wnie偶 ca艂y akwen wodny otaczaj膮cy Zamek, z naturaln膮 lini膮 brzegow膮 i licznymi wyspami.

Dzi臋ki uprzejmo艣ci inwestor贸w Zamku w Stobnicy mo偶na zwiedzi膰 jego otoczenie i dowiedzie膰 si臋 wielu ciekawych fakt贸w na temat samej budowli oraz otaczaj膮cej j膮 fauny i flory. Le艣na 艢cie偶ka Edukacyjna w Stobnicy obejmuje malowniczy szlak prowadz膮cy przez las, nabrze偶e i teren zamku.To, co w艂a艣nie przeczyta艂e艣, pochodzi ze strony internetowej Stobnica-艢cie藕ka Edukacyjna. Ma ona oczywi艣cie charakter promocyjny. Jednak by艂o i jest wiele os贸b, kt贸re by艂y przeciwne budowie tego "zamku".  

Ich komentarze dlaczego mo偶na przeczyta膰 na Facebooku Ciekawa Wielkopolska - Marcin Walkowiak. Niedawno odby艂 on spacer wok贸艂 budynku i zrobi艂 艣wietne zdj臋cia. Kilka przyk艂adowych komentarzy: "Mimo, 偶e zdj臋cia Marcina Walkowiaka by艂y 艣wietne, to i tak rzyga膰 si臋 chce od samego patrzenia na ten cyrk. Szkoda bezpowrotnie utraconej bior贸偶norodno艣ci".  "Skandal!!! Czy kto艣 w ko艅cu odpowie za dewastacj臋 przyrody i niszczenie w贸d i las贸w". "I takie dzia艂ania s膮 legalne? Pami臋tam wilki w Stobnicy, by艂em tam ponad 20 lat temu! Do czego dosz艂o: p艂atna 艣cie偶ka przez wyci臋ty las, z widokiem na zamek? Niewiarygodne!".
