If you are weighing up swimming, water sports and cycling for your trip, you will find specific information here to help you choose your destination.

Lake Rumian: Swimming and Water Sports

Nowa Wies has a beach and bathing area on Lake Rumian. Swimming is therefore a clear part of what the lakeside has to offer. Water sports equipment is available to hire during the holiday season. This timing is important when planning your trip: the offer is specified for the holiday season.

At almost 300 hectares, the lake is the largest body of water in Welski Landscape Park. This size refers to Lake Rumian, not the village. A hill in Nowa Wies offers panoramic views of the lake. Nearby, the views from the steep shore of Lake Rumian are also among the most interesting in the park. The panorama from the hill and the views from the shore offer two different reasons to take in the landscape around the lake.

Cycling Through a Rolling Landscape

The 26 km “Around Lake Rumian” cycling route passes through Nowa Wies and a varied, distinctly undulating glacial landscape. The route is not signposted or marked on the ground. If you include it in your plans, both its stated length and the lack of markings are important features to bear in mind. The landscape description and route length provide guidance without specifying a particular riding time.

Cultural and religious heritage sites also shape the cycling route. Szczupliny is also located near Nowa Wies. There, the ruins of St. Barbara’s church, built around 1400, have been preserved. The remains include part of the brick tower and remnants of the cemetery’s grave surrounds, dating from the second half of the 19th century. This information gives an outing in the surrounding area its own historical focus.

Landscape and Nature Nearby

Lake Rumian is a refuge for waterbirds. These include, among others, the common merganser, great crested grebe, red-necked grebe, mallard, mute swan, pochard and Eurasian coot. If you are interested in bird species, the lake offers a connection with nature as well as a beach and water sports.

The highest point in Welski Landscape Park, at 210 m above sea level, is located near Nowa Wies. The elevation refers to this point in the surrounding area. Together with the distinctly undulating glacial landscape crossed by the cycling route, it shows another side of the area beyond its beach and bathing facilities.
