#Szczecinek. A town that's not easily reachable via railways but totally worth it. #Lake Trzesiecko is surrounded by paths, with many pedestrian and bike tracks.
Most of the east and north-east shore is covered by city park with a promenade. You can easily notice where it ends, since you are immediately surrounded by a cloud of mosquitoes. There's also a forest to the north-east where you can find the remains of Wał Pomorski fortifications. It's a place where you can run, since otherwise mosquitoes will bite you hard. To the east of it, there's a block of houses named after generals, with long names including their pseudonyms.
Curious enough, there are multiple dog parks along the way. Individuals parks are dedicated e.g. to "aggressive dogs" or "large dogs". There is also a lot of posters asking people to adopt dogs from the animal shelter. The shore features a lot of willows and other trees leaning above the water. There are also some piers, apparently dedicated to the "water tram".
The west shore is covered by houses — it's a place to walk around a road in the sun and forget about mosquitoes for a while. The Brzegowa street features a wooden bridge over a beautiful canal (see the second photo). The whole south shore is covered by forest. In the middle of it, there's a beach called Mysia Wyspa (= mouse island). There are some more fortifications in the forest, and of course mosquitoes.
You can also walk to the nearby Lake Wilczkowo. However, I only had enough time to walk through the short path along the north-east shore that's blocked by fell trees and full of mosquitoes.
The first photograph is from the north-east shore of Lake Trzesiecko. The second one is the aforementioned canal. Third is from a path along the lake, north of a bridge on Strumień Mulisty (= muddy stream). The fourth is from a pier — "Wieża Bismarcka" (= Bismarck's Tower) stop.
And no, I haven't seen much of the town.
