THE PATH OF SZELĄG

Before the cruise, there is a possibility to take the transport from Ostróda – Stare Jabłonki to the marina located just by the Anders Hotel beach, from where the cruise begins. The 18-kilometer route, called the Path of the Szeląg, winds through 4 lakes: Szeląg Mały Lake, Szeląg Wielki Lake, Pauzeńskie Lake, and Drwęckie Lake. Ships pass through floodgates on two occasions, which are located in Mała Ruś and Ostróda, as well as a brick tunnel connecting Szeląg Wielki with Szeląg Mały, which, apart from the unusually charming landscape that characterizes the entire route, is a great experience for each participant of the cruise. During the 2.5 hour cruise, you will encounter protected bird species, including the majestic sea eagle but also crane, heron, or grebe. Around Lake Szeląg Wielki lie the Taborskie Forests, part of the Taborskie Pines Nature Reserve, unique not only in Poland but worldwide. These forests are home to unique pine trees, over 260 years old and reaching heights of up to 40 meters. The beautiful surroundings of the section from Stare Jabłonki to Ostróda is especially valued by the enthusiasts of canoeing and kayaking, who enjoy this quiet arm of the Elbląg Canal. The ship finishes its cruise in Ostróda at the marina in ul. Mickiewicza 9a.

After the cruise is over, we do not provide transport back to Stare Jabłonki.
