Oleckie Wielkie

Lake

19.9 km

Wooden Bridge at the Outflow of the Lega River, Wiewiórcza Trail

Highlight • Bridge

One of the more characteristic and recognizable places at the Olecko Wielkie Lake, i.e. a wooden bridge over the mouth of the Legi River flowing from the lake. In the immediate vicinity of the bridge there are numerous breeding places for waterfowl that can be observed throughout the year.
It is also the arbitrary beginning of the Squirrel Path that leads along the shoreline of the lake. It is an excellent route for walking or cycling. The total length of the path is 12km, which with its excellent preparation and not too demanding character is an excellent option to get to know the entire lake.

Wiewiórcza Ścieżka (Squirrel Path) – Olecko Wielkie Lake

Highlight • Trail

Very nice walking and cycling path around Lake Olecko Wielkie. There are several places for sunbathing and camping. Very few catering points. In places the path is a bit narrow, which makes passing each other difficult. Almost the entire length of the route we ride on a hardened dirt surface, there is little gravel and paving stones.

Szyjka Swimming Area

Highlight • Beach

The Szyjka swimming pool, which bears its name from the location in the narrowest place of the Olecko Wielkie lake. The beach was thoroughly rebuilt and supplemented with additional infrastructure (bridges, changing rooms, picnic areas, rest areas, playground, etc.) in 2019.
In the summer season, the beach is supervised by WOPR lifeguards.

Olecko Marina

Highlight • Rest Area

On the route there is a wonderful bar where you can drink coffee, eat lunch, ice cream, desserts and drinks. After a long walk, it saved my life.

Start or end of the lake

Highlight • Lake

We drive down to the lake from Kościuszki Street, but be careful, there is no marking here, so you have to be careful and look at your surroundings. We start driving on a gravel path and it is basically like that all the way around the lake.

Church of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Bakałarzewo

Highlight • Religious Site

Another nice town with a beach. Known mainly for forts :) It is also one of the few places in the Rospuda Valley where you can eat something warm on the way (there is a pizzeria) :)
