Access
To get to Mściwojow lake you have to take the road which leads you to Grzegorzów, where you will continue going straight ahead. After going straight ahead turn right at the second right turn, and the go straight down that road towards Mściwojow. Once you come towards the first road intersection you continue to go straight ahead and enter Mściwojow. After that take the first left turn before the church which you will go down, down that road you should see a football pitch, which means you have to take the first right turn to the car park.
If you want to park on the other side of the lake, you have to continue past the church until the edge of the village and take the left turn towards the fields. After a few seconds you will be able to spot a few houses at the end of the lake, where you can then turn left which will take you past the fishing area and towards the reedbed, where you can park next to the road (caution* if you enter the reedbed area note that there is very uneven and occasionally even marshy ground).
