Very nice walking and cycling path around Lake Olecko Wielkie. There are several places for sunbathing and camping. Very few catering points. In places the path is a bit narrow, which makes passing each other difficult. Almost the entire length of the route we ride on a hardened dirt surface, there is little gravel and paving stones.

A place to relax and what more can I say, except that there is a small catering point here. The beach is sandy.
