Nowa Wies by Lake Rumian

On Lake Rumian

Nowa Wies lies on Lake Rumian, the largest body of water in the Welski Landscape Park. At almost 300 hectares, the lake is a prominent landmark in the local landscape. From a hill in Nowa Wies, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the water. This gives you two perspectives on the landscape: the scale of the lake in the park and the view of it from above.

The area around Nowa Wies and Lake Rumian provides a refuge for waterbirds. Birds found at the lake include goosanders, great crested grebes, red-necked grebes, mallards, mute swans, pochards and Eurasian coots. For nature enthusiasts, the birdlife offers a different perspective on the lake from a stay by the water or a cycling trip.

Cycling route through the landscape

The 26-kilometre “Around Lake Rumian” cycling route passes through Nowa Wies. The route runs through a varied, strongly undulating glacial landscape and is dotted with cultural and religious monuments. The cycling route thus brings together landscape and cultural themes; its length and terrain are also practical considerations when planning your trip.

The route is not signposted or marked on the ground. So plan how you will navigate before setting off, and consider the markings, distance and terrain together when deciding whether the route fits your plans. In addition to the landscape, the cultural and religious monuments are another focus of the cycling route.

Elevation in the park

The highest point in the Welski Landscape Park, at 210 metres above sea level, lies near Nowa Wies. Together with the panoramic view from a hill and the cycling route’s strongly undulating terrain, this elevation gives a fuller picture of a glacially shaped landscape.

Different considerations apply when planning: for the cycling route, these include distance, terrain and the lack of markings; for the beach, bathing area and seasonal rental services, check the current conditions or availability in advance. This will help you decide which of the described options best suits how you want to spend your stay: by the water or on a bicycle.
