Tips from the Community
Until 1945, the lake was called Kirchen See. On September 17, 1949, the name Gostomie was introduced. Currently, the state register of geographical names lists Gostomie as the lake's primary name, while also listing a secondary name: Boruckie Lake. Located in the Noteć Forest, very close to the town of Gościm (1 km), the lake is the deepest of all the lakes in the area, reaching a depth of 18 meters.

A highly recommended hotel has emerged from a former estate. Typical Polish cuisine is very tasty. The manager's house, built in the Prussian style, is also interesting and is now also available to guests.
