A must-see on every route around Kotowice. Beautiful views, great path around the lake.

The most beautiful view is in early spring and autumn, when the vegetation is not so dense. In spring and summer it is hard to see anything through the leaves.

A charming, although sometimes heavily littered place. There is a super single track marked around the lake. Lots of places for camping and a bonfire. There is also a place to go down to the water.

Crowded on holidays in the summer season. There is a climate when there are no people.

The path is so nice that it's worth taking the extra mile. On one side there is a lake and on the other a small swamp.

It's always beautiful here, but it's most pleasant at dawn.
