Tips from the Community
Beautiful Lake Garczyn. Enormous: over 110 hectares. Beautiful forests grow on its shores. It's a wonderful place for a nature walk. It's worth noting, however, that because the PKP train station is nearby, it's not always super quiet.

And again the devil lost a stone... this time in Owśnica! This time, according to legend, the devil was flying to destroy a nearby church. He was flying with the stone, but lightning struck it. He released the stone, but as he tried to grab it again, he was frightened by the sunlight and hid in a boulder. Then a local priest drove an iron cross into the hole in the stone, and the devil remained there until 2025! This stone is one of the largest erratic boulders in Kashubia, with a circumference of 13.2 meters, a width of 4.7 meters, and a height of over 2.2 meters.

A wonderfully calming place after miles of pedaling. Delicious teas can be sampled in a pavilion nestled among beautiful plants from around the world.
