Lake Hołny in the Sejny commune is a picturesque reservoir covering over 150 hectares, located right on the border with Lithuania. Thanks to its quiet zone, it offers a peaceful atmosphere, and the industry-free environment encourages relaxation close to nature. The shores are largely covered with dense reeds and rushes, which limits access but gives the lake a wild character. It's an interesting stop on the trail, especially for those seeking peace, solitude, and contact with nature.
