Jezioro Brdowskie

Lake Brdowskie is a glacial lake in Greater Poland with a length of approximately 4.4 kilometers and a width ranging from 500 to 900 meters. The shoreline remains mostly undeveloped and is bordered by varied vegetation that frames the water.

The basin formed during the last ice age as a tunnel valley, creating the distinctive ribbon-shaped form in the Kuyavian Lake District. This glacial origin shaped the landscape character of the entire region.

The lake remains central to local fishing traditions, where generations have caught species such as tench, bream, and ide. These practices continue to shape daily life for communities along its shores.

Fishing permits should be obtained in advance, with accommodation available in the nearby town of Klodawa for those planning longer stays. Spring and autumn offer pleasant conditions for walking the shores and observing water birds.

The shoreline hosts around 47 bird species and several orchid varieties, including marsh helleborine and spotted orchid. This biological richness makes the lake shores a valuable habitat for uncommon plants and animals.
