Stretching across the northern part of Poland, the Drawskie Lake District is a land of more than 250 lakes, where you can find the valuable nature complexes of the Drawienski National Park and Drawski Landscape Park. In addition, the area has the biggest military range in Europe (Drawski Range), which forms a great natural reservoir for wildlife.

Through the region flows the Drawa, which is approximately 200 km in length and one of the cleanest rivers in the country. It is, moreover, the only lowland river that in parts takes on a mountainous character, making it particularly appropriate for advanced canoe users. Interestingly, some of the water-powered structures you can find on its banks are upwards of 100 years old and they are still in operation. Pope John Paul II used to spend a lot of time in the Drawskie Lake District when he was young, which is a reason why one of the water routes there bears his name.

COME ARRIVARE
The largest town of the Drawskie Lake District is Szczecinek. The best way to get there is to fly to Szczecin (156 km from Szczecinek) and then continue by bus or train to Szczecinek. The alternative is to travel by either of the two rail buses that have been recently bought from Germany. Some people choose to fly to Gdansk, located 159 km from the region’s main town. Gdansk also has train and bus connections to Szczecinek. Some of the other significant towns of the region include Czaplinek, Kluczewo and Stare Drawsko. Getting around doesn’t pose a problem as the towns are linked to each other by bus routes (PKS).
