Enjoy a run along Poznań’s largest lake! Kiekrz Lake is 12 km northwest of Poznań (only 9 minutes by train!). A paved multi-use path, Nad Jeziorem, runs alongside the lake for nearly 4 km. The path is mainly wooded, with some lake views. We’ve mapped the route headed south, starting from near the Kiekrz train station. Follow the path to the south end of the lake.

Longer Run: The Kiekrz Lake path can connect to the trail on the west side of the train tracks that heads south toward Poznań. It’s 2 km to Strzeszynek Lake and 7 km to the north end of Rusałka Lake. You can continue still further to the path through Sołacki Park, to the center of Poznań.

A terrific 'runseeing' tour of Poznań, including Old Town (Stare Miasto) and then a clockwise loop through several parks that line the road around the former walls of this medieval city. The route is ~9 km, with good add-on options.
Pleasant multi-use paths along both sides of the Warta River, accessible from the center of town. Up to 4 km between the Bolesława Chrobrego Bridge and the Przemysł I Bridge. Some nice views of the water and the the city.
Hillside park just north of the city centre that's the site of an old fort. There are several km of hilly, crisscrossing paths. The park features the remains of the old fort, a rose garden, important outdoor sculptures, and two museums.
Just outside the center of Poznań, this run on paths in Sołacki Park and around Rusałka Lake is scenic and has lots of variety. Can add the University Botanical Garden. Also a running track at the sports complex near Rusałka Lake.
The 5.4 km loop around Malta Lake, located ~2 km east of Old Town, is one of the most popular running routes in Poznań. There's a paved multi-use path around the lake, with great water views. Millennium Park & Warta River paths are good add-ons.
Lovely forest park 5 km west of Poznań centre that's great for running. 16 km of wide, flat, wooded paths with good footing, and a nice variety of trees. Site of weekly parkrun. Good option near the airport.
For some great scenery and variety, combine a tour of John Paul II Park and trails around Dębińskii Forest, with its ponds & specimen trees. These areas can also be run separately. Dębińskii Forest is the site of a weekly parkrun. Add'l paths along the Warta River.
Nice running along Lake Swarzędzkie in the Swarzędz, 10 km east of Poznań. Paths along the east and west sides each run for ~2 km. The east side path is more developed and has a running track at its south end. Site of a weekly parkrun.
