Zalew Zegrzyński, the largest water reservoir in the vicinity of Warsaw, could not be left without attractions! Every weekend, the entire region flourishes here again and is populated by tourists of all kinds. From sailors and windsurfers to anglers and cyclists. Everything is teeming with life. Everyone will find something for themselves in the towns, resorts, hotels, restaurants densely surrounding Lake Zegrzyńskie.

Sailing on the Zegrze Reservoir
If we do not want longer cruises, either on the sea or in Masuria, the Lagoon is a perfect place for us! Although the prices are directly proportional to the proximity of Warsaw, boats can be rented by the hour instead of for days or weeks. Apart from the usual ports and marinas, which to be honest I find too expensive, it is worth visiting regular water sports equipment rentals (I recommend those on Warszawska Street).

Horse riding
For horse lovers, I recommend a visit to one of the stables in Zegrze. The surroundings of the lake are full of beautiful landscapes, so there will be something to admire.

Quads
For lovers of these four-wheeled vehicles, I have a surprise. In Nieporęt, practically next to the main road, a special track was opened, adapted and built for quads. Have fun and the fun is amazing! Price: 20 PLN / 10min.
Trips on the Lagoon
One of the most beautiful places is the Wąwóz Szeniawskiego reserve located on the western shore of the lake's lagoon, between Jadwisin and Zegrzynek. The name comes from the playwright Wojciech Szeniawski, who was the owner of this area at the turn of the 20th century. The ravine itself is a remnant and relic of the former Serock Forest, boiling with natural monuments, 300-year-old oaks and pines, as well asvaried topography. There is only one road available for tourists through the reserve, it used to lead to the "Zegrzynek" tavern, the most atmospheric place on the entire Zegrze Reservoir, now, unfortunately, already closed.
Another place worth recommending from the nature side is Wieliszewskie Łęgi - a protected area 1 km west of Zegrze Płd. The largest 18 ha reserve enchants with its flora. There are, among others, black birch and aspen, and in combination with a very varied topography (dunes, Narew oxbow lakes, swamps) create a truly magical atmosphere. Bird lovers will have the opportunity to take a look at the magnificent hanging nests built by the rather rare bird of the fire station.
Getting to Zegrze:
- By bus: 705, PKS and by private lines: from the West Railway Station, Stadion Station and from the Centrum Galeria.
- By car: ul. Modlińska, and then route no. 61 (via Jabłonna and Legionowo) or ul. Płochocińska to Nieporęt (Żerań - Jabłonna - Zalew Zegrzyński).
