Nakło nad Notecią

Nakło nad Notecią is a city in Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship located roughly 25 kilometers from Bydgoszcz at the intersection of the Bydgoszcz Canal and Noteć River. These waterways divide the town into distinct northern and southern areas.

The settlement originated in the 10th century as a Pomeranian fortress known as Nakieł and gained Magdeburg town rights in 1299 under Polish rule. These two milestones shaped its early growth as a fortified trade hub.

The town hosts regular music performances by young artists and marks national holidays with community celebrations that happen throughout the year.

The town sits on major transportation routes including national roads 10 and 5, as well as the railway connecting Szczecin, Piła, Bydgoszcz, and Warsaw. Getting around and reaching nearby cities is straightforward.

The northern section features agricultural areas and urban development, while the southern part is dominated by thick forests and meadows along the Noteć River. This spatial split creates two contrasting landscapes within one town.
