Piaski Wielkie on Lake Piaski

Piaski Wielkie lies on Lake Piaski. The area around the village can be explored through different points of reference: the shallow body of water with its wooded, reed-lined shores, the blue trail along the Baltic Sea and the Szczecin Lagoon, and a manor house dating from 1931. Each of these offers a different kind of orientation: the lake and river describe the landscape, the trail places Piaski Wielkie within a named route, and the manor house provides a historical point of reference.

Lake Piaski and its landscape

Lake Piaski covers 94 ha and is shallow. Its maximum depth is 3.8 m; the average depth is about 2 m. The maximum depth is therefore just under 2 m greater than the average depth.

The lake is surrounded by woodland, including the northern part of the Goleniowska Forest. Reeds grow along its shores. The woodland and reeds add a description of the landscape to the lake’s measurements. The body of water, its vegetated shores and its woodland setting are distinct features: the depth figures relate to the lake, while the woodland and reeds describe the surrounding area.

The Grzybnica and the watercourse

The Grzybnica offers another point of reference. It rises in Lake Ostrowo, flows into Lake Piaski from the south, and then continues north towards the Kamieński Lagoon. The lake can therefore be understood not only through its shores and depth figures, but also through its place in the course of the Grzybnica.

The blue trail to Piaski Wielkie

The blue trail along the Baltic Sea and the Szczecin Lagoon runs from Wolin via Koniewo and Mierzęcin to Piaski Wielkie on Lake Piaski. The places named make the route’s sequence easy to follow: Wolin is at the beginning of the connection described, and Piaski Wielkie at its end. This also makes it possible to identify the village as the endpoint of a named route. The trail and the course of the Grzybnica provide two different kinds of orientation: one describes a route, the other a watercourse. If you are planning a trip along the trail, check the latest route information in advance.

The manor house and the lakeside beach

The manor house in Piaski Wielkie dates from 1931. This construction date provides a specific historical point of reference in the village. Natural surroundings and local history therefore sit side by side as points of reference in Piaski Wielkie: the lake and its surroundings can be described by its measurements, shoreline vegetation and watercourse; the manor house by its location and construction date.

The only small beach on Lake Piaski is located at the former Hotel “Piaski”. The beach is associated with the lake; the hotel is explicitly described as former. Both are useful points of reference for locating this spot in the surrounding area. The information about the beach identifies a specific point on the lake and its small size. It adds another clearly defined aspect of Lake Piaski to the description of the woodland and reed-lined shores.
