There is no time for boredom here, because you either relax, swim and enjoy the sun, or get to know the picturesque area full of lakes, mushroom forests and other Suwałki secrets. When the morning mists fall with coffee in hand, it is worth going to the pier. The rich air will wake up even the biggest sleepyhead, and the silence that spills over the area, the buzzing of insects and the sound of calamus can put you into a state of meditation. After hiking and cycling, it's time to relax on the terrace, absorb Polish crime stories on the beach in a specially adapted land boat and sift sand through your fingers.
When you are in a state of permanent peace, it's time to open the map and take the following direction:
- Curves with a city beach and a ski lift in winter.

The Suwałki Landscape Park has many attractions and mysterious places to offer.
The park area is rich in vast, open spaces with lots of lakes and forests interspersed with beautiful rivers, meadows, fields and swamps. The jaw drop and undying delight cause its unique postglacial landscape. The remains of the great ice are the deepest in Poland and lowland Europe - Lake Hańcza, 108.5 m deep, and the rivers Szeszupa and Czarna Hańcza.
What, apart from captivating nature, is worth seeing in the Landscape Park?
