Polen ist berühmt für seine schönen Städte, die Ostsee und die Berge. Dabei werden die großen, vielfältigen, naturbelassenen und wunderschönen Seen Polens oft vergessen. Schade, denn diese sind einen Besuch wert! Aber wenn Du sie schon besuchst, dann umrunde sie doch zu Fuß und lerne Polen an seiner schönsten Stelle kennen! Wenn Du die zehn größten Seen Polens zu Fuß umrundet hast, und Dich davor bei unserer Iron Lake Challenge angemeldet hattest, dann hast Du nicht nur wundervolle Lebensmomente erlebt, sondern auch die begehrte Iron Lake Challenge Medaille in der Edition „Polska“ verdient. Mach mit!

RULES

Sign up for the Iron Lake Challenge Poland!
To conquer the Iron Lake Challenge Poland and earn the beautiful collector's medal, you have to walk around the ten largest lakes in Poland after registering.
Bicycles, skates, etc. are not allowed, but you are welcome to hike or run.
Each lake must be circumnavigated "in one piece". This means that you are welcome to take breaks, but you should complete the lake in one day, unless there is a special regulation for certain lakes. There are lakes that are too big for a one-day tour, for these you may take several days. Of course, you can (and must) divide the circumnavigations of the 10 lakes into different days. Do only one lake per day, because you want to enjoy this time! You have no time limit for this challenge, which means that you can take several years.
We trust you that you have really circumnavigated the lakes. However, if you want to be included in the time ranking, we need a copy of your tracking. We don't care what you use (watch, smartphone or app).

General PLEASE NOTE!

Please note that the road traffic regulations apply in public traffic areas and along roads and cycle paths. So move with consideration.
You circumnavigate the lakes at your own risk and at your own risk. The operator of this website assumes no liability.
Please heed medical advice if necessary or have a medical examination before the start of the Challenge. You are responsible for your own health, equipment and condition. Breaking off a tour is not a disgrace, health always comes first!

IMPORTANT RULES FOR DEALING WITH NATURE DURING YOUR LAKE TOUR:

Please take into account the local instructions for the protection of nature.
Please do not go off the trails.
Please do not make noise.
Please do not collect rocks or minerals.
Please do not collect mushrooms.
Please do not leave trash lying around.
Please do not feed animals.
Please do not make an open fire.

This should be obvious to all of us, but it doesn't hurt to remember it from time to time.

The ten largest lakes in Poland

Polen hat wunderschöne, abwechslungsreiche und vor allem sehr große Seen. Bei unserer Recherche haben wir die zehn größten herausgesucht, mussten aber leider den Dammscher See wieder herausstreichen da im Norden eine Brücke fehlt. Somit ist eine Umrundung nicht möglich. Deshalb ist der Goplosee in unsere „Top Ten“ nachgerückt. Wir denken jedoch, dass die Seen der Iron Lake Challenge Polen herausfordernd, aber vor allem einen Besuch wert sind.

Śniardwy Lake

The 114 km² large Lake Spirding is the largest lake in Poland and is located in the Polish voivodeship Warmia-Masuria. The lake is relatively shallow with a maximum depth of 8 meters. It is home to eight islands that are very interesting. Teufelswerder Island was inhabited early on, as evidenced by urns from prehistoric times. A circumnavigation on foot is challenging, as you have to cover around 80 kilometers. But you have three days to do it, because you should also enjoy it.

Mamry Lake

At 104 km², Lake Mazur is the second largest lake in the Masurian Lake District. It is actually made up of six lake basins. This lake system includes 33 islands, all of which are protected. Your walk will take you around all six basins, so you will cover a total of 80 kilometers. However, you have three days to do this.

Lake Leba

The 75 km² Leba Lake is located in the Pomeranian Voivodeship and is a beach lake. This means that you will find a lot of sand on its shores. It is separated from the Baltic Sea by a spit that is only about 800 m wide. If you walk around it, take a good look around, as the shifting sand dunes there are very interesting. To walk around the spit, you have to cover a distance of around 57 kilometers. You have two days to do this.

Lake Miedwie

Der Jezioro Miedwie liegt im Westen der Pommerschen Seenplatte (nahe der Stadt Pyritz) und hat eine Wasserfläche von ca. 35 km². An seinen Ufern liegen wertvolle Moorgebiete in denen die seltene „Bartmeise“ brütet. Für eine Umrundung musst Du mit ca. 57 Kilometer zu Fuß rechnen. Dafür hast Du zwei Tage Zeit.

Lake Jeziorak

Der Geserichsee ist ein weit verzweigter See mit einer Wasserfläche von ca. 32,19 km² und liegt in der Woiwodschaft Emsland-Masuren. Sein Name ist aus dem Begriff „geeyse“ für Reiher abgeleitet. Im Jeziorak befinden sich mehrere Inseln. Im Südzipfel des Sees bei Iława liegt die 82,4 ha große Insel Groß Werder. Auf ihr liegt sogar eine alte Burg. Du musst ca. 70 Kilometer Fußweg zurücklegen um den See vollständig zu umrunden. Dafür hast Du jedoch zwei Tage Zeit.

Lake Niegocin

The approximately 26.4 km2 Niegocin is a lake in the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship. It lies exactly between the two, slightly larger lakes Śniardwy and Mamry. The approx. 30-kilometre circuit offers you beautiful nature and a good time in the fresh air.

Lake Gardno

The approx. 25 km2 Jezioro Gardno is a beach lake in the Polish Pomeranian Voivodeship, which is only separated from the Baltic Sea by an approx. two kilometer wide spit. It contains a single island. Due to its beauty, this lake has often been a motif for painters in the past. For a complete circumnavigation on foot, you have to cover about 25 kilometers

Lake Jamno

Der „Jamno“ ist ein lagunenartiger See in der Woidschaft Westpommern, ca. 22,39 km² groß und nur durch eine Nehrung von der Ostsee getrennt. Er liegt in der ehemaligen Jamunder Bucht, die erst später versandete und somit zum Binnensee wurde. Vor ca. vierhundert Jahren befand sich darin noch die Hansestadt Köslin. Um den Jamunder See zu Fuß zu umrunden musst Du ca. 36 Kilometer bewältigen.

Lake Wigry

The approximately 21.7 km² Wigry Lake is geographically part of the Lithuanian Lake District, even though it is politically located in the Polachian Voivodeship (Poland). It is the largest body of water in the Wigry National Park and is surrounded by dozens of smaller lakes. The nature here is worth seeing and time spent on the banks of the Wigry is real quality time. The 46-kilometre walk around the lake gives you plenty of time to enjoy yourself.

Lake Gopło

The approximately 21.8 km² Goplo Lake is located in the Kujawsko-Pomorskie Voivodeship and stretches in a north-south direction. It is characterized by its numerous islands. Its two arms are no more than four kilometers wide. A circumnavigation of the lake is challenging due to its extensive orientation with a walking distance of approx. 58 kilometers, which is why you have two days to complete it.
