Cold and winter aura don't have to mean staying at home. The white cover and the frost favour the winter craze, so every outdoor activity lover will find something for themselves. We present some ideas for spending time in Lublin in the winter months.
Icemania
If you want to enjoy this winter time and relax you've got to accept MOSiR's invitation. The Icemania ice rink, sized 30 x 60 m., is equipped with a spectacular entresol and eating area with the climatic Color Cafe, that you can enter directly from the ice rink. The place is suitable for the beginners, figure skaters, and hockey players.
Sleigh rides in the Open Air Village Museum
A horse-drawn sleigh among the snow-covered trees is for many the quintessence of winter. The Open Air Village Museum in Lublin provides great fun both for children and adults. Give yourself a chance to be captivated by the old Lublin village from the perspective of a sledge. Get warm by the campfire afterwards.
Winter swimming
Are you in the mood for something extreme? How about winter swimming? The specialists from Lublin will give you a few pieces of advice about the preparation and training before you get to stand at the shore of Bystrzyca by the Zemborzycki Lake dame. Are you brave enough to try?
Cross-country skiing
We are proud to watch Justyna Kowalczyk perform in the World Cup competitions. If you would like to be more like her and get some outdoor exercise, we invite you to the forest paths of the Old Forest and the Zemborzycki Lake. Forest tracks, fire roads and bicycle trails in the south of Lublin transform into cross-country skiing trails, where you can often use the tracks made by the snowcat trucks and other skiers.
Christmas Festival
We all look forward to the Nativity scene, the christmas tree, and the beautiful Christmas lights. As every year we will wish each other happy Christmas during the Old Town Christmas Eve. There will be many interesting events, festivals, Christmas workshops, concerts, and competitions.
New Year's Eve Party in Lublin
The Litewski Square will be the stage of the New Year's Eve party in Lublin. We will welcome the New Year Lublin style, together with the Tomasz Momot Orkiestra, one of of a few classic jazz big-bands in Poland, in cooperation with artists such as Natalia Wilk, Łukasz Jemioła, or Tomasz Korpanty. You can expect the biggest Polish and foreign hits in unusual arrangements, prepaired especially for this special Night!
Winter in the City
The City of Lublin invites for annual winter break activities. It's a proposition for the pupils of the Lublin schools who stay in the city for the semester break. In the program we can find meetings, workshops, sport and recreational activities, as well as some sightseeing. This year's edition will be closely connected with the approaching jubilee of 450 years of the Union of Lublin.
