Rogalin
Half‑day visit from Poznań, 4–5 h total: bus to Rogalin, walk the palace grounds, then return.
Rogalin is a tiny village 16 km southeast of Poznań, famous for the Raczyński Palace, its French‑style park and ancient oak trees. All sights sit within a short walk, so a single half‑day is enough unless you want to stay overnight in a local B&B.
