What makes us special?
Nearby lakes are clear and full of fish, and in forests there are a lot of mushrooms, uncommon plants and animals. The nature is here original thanks to an absence of major routes.
When you enter from Nowogard towardes a town you can find huge lichens on trees. Lichens are natural bioindicators of a clear environment.
The area and town have got enchanting climate . It also has a very historical architecture which can be seen throughout the narrow symetrically arranged streets. History is a thing that makes us proud, because this small city was one of the most fortificated fortress which was surrounded by a moat and high walls with turrets. For hundreds of years these lands belonged to familly von Devitz, who built a statelly castle which has been preserved as a ruin till now(ruin).
Castle is situated in the north–west of town. It has been rebuilded few times because of fires and wars. The last rebuilding gave a character of the renaissance because it had been supervised by Jobst’s von Devitz, who was distinguished as the representative of his familly. Who graduated in Bologna, Italy. Jobst was one of the first founder members of Lutheranism in this region of Poland. His diplomatic skills made Dobra one of the most important cities in his voivodeship.
Another relic is a huge and beautiful church which is still well preserved. There are conjectures, that between church and castle there exists an underground passage which connects them. In a church apart from the beautiful adornments you might notice a headstone with has a sculptured image Jobst von Devitz with his wife and a knight which has six toes at each of his feet. There is a legend that local barons hid a treasure, which might be found only by a six toed person. Purportedly treasure was found by Swedes, but none of them had required six toes and the treasure and the Swedes was sucked underground…
Amazing artefact
Archaeological excavation has proved that alongside the Town existed a settlement (about VI century) huge-sized humans lived. Archaeologists found vestiges of woods settlement situated on stilts around a small island on Daber-See (the island was seasonal because only in spring and autumn was it separated by water) which had to be connected to the mainland by a wooden bridge.
Next to an island on the closest peninsula of the main land scientist found pagan burial ground with over 20 bodies. Every skeleton of this body was over 2 meters (6.88 feet)!!! Since that discovery this place is called The Cemetery of Giants.
