Tips from the Community
Lake Hańcza is the deepest lake in Poland, with a maximum depth of 108.5 meters. It is located in the Suwałki Region, surrounded by the picturesque hills and forests of the Suwałki Landscape Park. The lake boasts crystal-clear waters, attracting not only anglers and kayakers but also divers from across the country. Cyclists can enjoy attractive, undulating trails around the lake, offering beautiful views of the lake and numerous erratic boulders. This is also the starting point of the "Poglacial Gully of Lake Hańcza" educational trail—a hiking trail approximately 10 km long that leads from Stara Hańcza, with its historic manor house and park, along the eastern shore of Lake Hańcza, and then through the Czarna Hańcza River valley to Turtul. The trail features shelters, campfire areas, and educational information boards.

A very interesting shelter in the center of Bachanów - a great starting point for a hike along Czarna Hańcza (there is also a parking space here, so even better). You will also find useful information about the most interesting places in the Suwałki Landscape Park, and a series of signs for several trails right next to it invites you to set off somewhere right away.

From this road between these two lakes there are wonderful views of both. A wonderful, picturesque place, with a beautiful contrast (especially in summer) of the green of the trees and fields with the blue of the lakes.

Great view from this viewpoint, right next to the main path. "Oz" is not the Wizard of Oz... but a hill formed by the deposition of sand and gravel. Great views of the area after climbing a few steps here.

A viewpoint in the Smolniki area, from which we can see Lake Jaczno. There are steps leading to the viewpoint.
