Things to do in Pogrzebień: a lookout tower from 2019, a neo-Renaissance palace, the Salesian church and the Bociek protected area in the Racibórz county.
Pogrzebień lies in the Kornowac municipality in the Racibórz county. Its four places suit a relaxed walk: a viewpoint, historic buildings and a patch of land for birds and butterflies.
The best views come from the observation tower on a hill in the south of the village, 291 m above sea level. The steel structure is 19.72 metres tall with three platforms, and from the top you see Tworków and Bieńkowice, and farther away the Beskids, the Sudetes and the Jeseníky.
The palace at Brzezka 9 is a neo-Renaissance residence in the Italian villa style, rebuilt in 1885-1886. Since 1946 it has housed a convent of Salesian sisters, so it is seen from the outside. The Church of St Bartholomew the Apostle, built in 1851-1852 and thoroughly rebuilt in 1954-1960, won a poll for the Most Beautiful Church of the Racibórz Land in 2014.
The Bociek Nature and Landscape Complex covers about 152 hectares of semi-natural habitat with an educational trail. 54 bird species, including white storks, and 187 species of butterfly have been recorded here.
It is 19.72 metres tall with three viewing platforms at 3.21, 6.42 and 9.21 metres. It is lit and monitored.
It is not a museum: since 1946 it has been a convent of Salesian sisters, so a short walk around the building is the best way to see it.
