Karaśnik Lake

Highlight • Lake

Karaśnik Lake looks very inconspicuous on the map, but in fact it is one of the most picturesque in this region. The round shape, the mirror surface of the water and the coastal peat evoke Kashubian landscapes. It is worth following the green trail to rest in this place.

You can park your car safely in the parking lot on the side of Leśna Street. A walk around the lake takes about 1 hour. I recommend it at any time of year.
