Water and hiking trails in Augustów Municipality

Nearby Lake Jałowo is about 50 ha in area. The lake and the Rospuda offer opportunities for water tourism and fishing. This gives you two different kinds of waterside setting to consider in your plans: a forest lake and a river that also runs by the Święte Miejsce forest clearing. If you would like to include water activities when looking for a holiday apartment, these interests can be a factor alongside the clearing’s cultural and historical associations.

At the municipal level, the Augustów Canal runs through Augustów Municipality; the “Borki” locks are in Netta Folwark and Białobrzegi. A canoe route follows the Rospuda and passes through lakes. Two marked hiking trails also run through the municipality. The yellow trail leads from Augustów via Białobrzegi and Netta towards Bargłów and on to Ełk. The green trail leads from Augustów via Białobrzegi, Gabowe Grądy, Komaszówka and Huta to Jastrzębna. The hiking trails differ in their markings and routes; compared with the canoe route, they offer a different focus. This means you can plan your trip around either waterways or a marked hiking trail.
