What makes the Przysiecz pond distinctive?

The pond landscape can be described through several specific features. From June to September, water lily beds cover almost half of the water’s surface. This seasonal detail helps you place the plant life in the right part of the year, without extending the bloom into other months. Mature trees surround the pond, and irises bloom on its embankments. Together, the water, trees and flowers bring different accents to the landscape.

The fish species found in the pond are also part of its character: carp, pike, bream, perch and roach. This means Przysiecz offers more than a single seasonal attraction for your travel plans. Plants and fish are two different ways to compare a place by its landscape and natural features.
