Nature reserve Jezioro Lubogoszcz, lake in Poland
Nature reserve Jezioro Lubogoszcz is a small lake in Kartuzy County with dark brown water, surrounded by forest and protected sandstone formations. The lake covers roughly 18 hectares and is crossed by marked trails that guide visitors through the surrounding landscape, which includes old trees and wetland forests.
The reserve was established in 1962 to protect the lake and surrounding forests. During World War II, a bunker near the lake housed fighters of the Gryf Pomorski resistance group, who confronted the Gestapo in 1943.
The lake's name reflects Kashubian traditions that remain present in the nearby villages today. Local people view this place as part of their natural heritage and use it for quiet walks and family outings, especially during warmer months.
Check the weather before visiting and wear comfortable shoes, as trails can become muddy in rain. There are no shops or cafes at the lake, so bring water, food, and a camera with you.
Near the north shore are small caves and rock formations carved by erosion, resembling the famous Grotto Mechowskie. Some local visitors explore these hidden spaces and imagine how ancient people may have once used such places.
