Wdzydze Lake, known as the "Kashubian Sea" due to its vast size and intricate shape, is a particular gem. Its numerous islands and deeply indented shores create a unique archipelago-like environment, perfect for kayaking, sailing, and fishing.

These lakes are home to a diverse array of fish species, including pike, perch, and eel, making them a popular destination for anglers.
