Accesso
Lake Powidzkie lies about 70 km east of Poznań and is easily reached by car. Local roads lead directly to several access points along the shore.There are convenient parking spots in Powidz, Przybrodzin, and at the small bays on the southern and eastern shores. In most places you can park close to the water and start birding right away. Press a P on the map for directions.
The lake is best explored on foot or by bicycle. Walking paths and quiet local roads run along large sections of the shoreline, giving access to reedbeds, viewpoints, and small beaches. A car is useful for moving between the northern and southern parts, but the most productive birding is usually done on foot around the bays and reedbeds.
