At the airfield, you can pursue qualifications for two different types of aircraft: paragliders of all PGP types and ultralight UAG(L)-type gyroplanes. So, if this is your area of interest, Borsk offers not only an airfield but also specific training options. The two qualification paths relate to different aircraft; the designations PGP and UAG(L) are each associated with the relevant training.

Paragliders are mainly towed there by vehicle to a height of 500–700 m. There is also a stationary double-drum winch with 1,600 m-long cables. It is used primarily for training and supports towing when needed. When weighing up your options, both the predominantly used vehicle method and the supplementary winch are relevant. The height refers to towing by vehicle; the cable length applies to the stationary winch.

A 210 km kayaking route runs through the Wdzydzki Landscape Park from Lipusz via the lakes Schodno, Słupinko, Radolne and Wdzydze to Borsk. According to the international classification, this kayaking route is easy and accessible to beginners. The lakes listed show the route in sequence; Borsk is the endpoint of the described stretch. If you are looking for a longer route, the total length of 210 km is an important factor in your choice.

In addition, a canoe route along the Wda and the Wda Canal is signposted on the stretch of more than 15 km between Borsk, Żebrowo, Bąk and Miedzno. It is described by its own section and place names.

In Borsk, a landing place on Lake Wdzydze offers rentals of water and leisure equipment. This adds another local water-based option to the paddling routes described. The lake itself is near Borsk: at 16 km², it is the largest lake in the Wdzydzki Landscape Park and more than 70 m deep. Locals call it the “Kashubian Sea.” If you are interested in water activities, you can take these specific details about the lake into consideration alongside the rental offer and the routes described.

The Wdzydzki hiking trail passes through Borsk and crosses the Wda at kilometer 12 via a footbridge. The kilometer marker indicates where the crossing is located on the trail.
