Banie

Banie is a village in West Pomeranian Voivodeship situated along a system of lakes that shape the local landscape. The largest lake offers public beaches and fishing opportunities, while smaller lakes add to the area's waterside character.

The village has roots tracing back at least to the 17th century, documented in early written records. A chapel from the early 15th century stands within the area and represents an earlier period of religious life in the region.

The parish church stands at the heart of daily community life and serves as a focal point for local gatherings. It reflects the deep religious roots that shape social connections in the village.

The warmer months offer the best conditions for visiting, when the beaches are accessible and outdoor activities are most comfortable. The pathways around the lakes are easy to walk and provide good access to waterside areas.

The village is surrounded by four distinct lakes that form an interconnected water system, creating a defining feature of the landscape. This lake network makes the place a rare example of a water-centered community in the Polish countryside.
