Thanks to its close proximity to Warsaw, Zegrze is a perfect place to visit even for a one-day break. However, there are also several guesthouses and hotels offering good levels of accommodation.

The lake is about 40 km long, covers an area of 33 km2 and is linked to Warsaw by the Zeranski Channel. On the banks of Zegrze you can find many new ports, hostels and resorts, many built quite recently and making this place perfect if you like an active break. From the end of spring until late autumn, people come here to swim, windsurf, row boats, canoe, ride horses or jog. A couple of days here is all you need to recharge your batteries and get some high-quality relaxation. If you come here in winter then you may see the annual iceboat contest.

There are plenty of wild places around Zegrze, great if you are looking for peace and tranquillity or if you are a bird spotter – there are mallards, swans and many other species. The forests surrounding the lake give you excellent opportunities for long walks, jogging and mushroom picking.

Besides the environmental advantages, you will also find many historical buildings to see – the current Polish Press Agency Resort is based in the old 19th century Hunter's Palace, there is the casino and the remains of the Ordon and Karlinek forts. If you are fascinated by militaria then there are forts from the times of the Russian partition, or you can see the Great Fortification.
