A crowd-free swimming spot, perfect for relaxing. It's easy to get there from Warsaw.
Not all reservoirs and swimming areas in Poland are equally well-known. Some still struggle to cope with excessive crowds. A problematic situation exists, for example, at Zakrzówek in Kraków , where long queues form. Admission is free, and the venue is modern, which only serves to whet your appetite. Zegrze in Mazovia is also often crowded. This time, we have the perfect option for a relaxing break near Warsaw.
A reservoir near WarsawWe're referring to the Karczunek Reservoir, located in the town of Kałuszyn in Mińsk County. It's situated on the Kałuszyn Upland, 35 km west of Siedlce and 50 km from Warsaw. In summer, this place attracts water enthusiasts, but it's still a peaceful place to relax.
It's a swimming spot surrounded by an elegant pier, but also a paradise for active outdoor activities. Local attractions include a sauna, a children's area, a fitness area, a relaxation area, beach volleyball courts, bars and gardens, as well as kayak rentals and a fishing zone.
