In a valley with high and steep banks, flows the Wda River, used for tourism. It flows out of Lake Krężno near Bytów at an altitude of 160 m above sea level. The section from Lake Wdzydze to the Żurskie Reservoir (the mouth of the Prusina River) constitutes the middle course of the river. It is characterized by a large drop (approx. 0.72 ‰), numerous meanders and narrowings. Along its entire course, the Wda receives numerous tributaries. The most important of them are the Ryszka (catchment area: 103.5 km2), Sobińska Struga (103.3 km2) and Prusina (101.2 km2). Below the Wda's outflow from Lake Wdzydze, there is a lock that dams and regulates the waters of the river below the lake. The river below the above-mentioned lake is canalized, constituting the so-called Wda Channel, and its waters are used to irrigate the Czerskie Meadows with an area of 103.5 km2. 500 ha and supplying fish ponds in Uręża (Szczęsny 1992). The middle section of the Wda flows through the forested areas of the Park with large fragments of natural deciduous forests. The Wda here meanders strongly and its valley is cut 10-15 m into the surface of the sandur. The most scenic section of the Wda is located between the mouth of the Brzezianka and the town of Tleń, where the river swiftly makes its way through the forests in a narrow and winding, gorge-like bed. At a distance of about 5 km below the mouth of the Brzezianka, it forms a loop, called the “Krzywe Koło” forest area. The landscape values of this area, enhanced by magnificent fragments of natural deciduous forests, are among the most beautiful in the Tuchola Forest. https://www.csw.pl/aktualnosci/dla-turysty/przyroda/2018/08/31/rzeka-wda/

Church in Pomysk Wielki - built on a hill in 1890 in the neo-Gothic style. The first church was built here in 1430, and in the 17th century Hirsz von Pomeiske founded another church. The current church has been used by Catholics since the end of the war. The church is oriented, single-nave, built of brick and stone. Until 1973, the Church of the Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary was a branch of the Church of St. Catherine in Bytów. Inside the church there are confessionals from 1950-1960, a pulpit and organ from 1895 and a beautiful stained glass window in the shape of a circle symbolizing perfection (partly covered by the main altar). The sculptures in the altars were made by Czesław Marczak - a sculptor from Bytów.
