More than 30 km from Gryfino there is Krzywy Las near the Dolna Odra power plant. There are several hundred bizarrely bent trees here, creating an interesting picture. It is a great place for walks and you can often see young couples taking pictures of each other. Interestingly, such trees were created due to human activity. They were cut to size so that they could be used to build sleighs or boats. Rest by the water Many visitors expect water from Szczecin and rest on the beach. However, the vicinity of Szczecin is also a great place for sailors and ... fishermen. The Szczecin Lagoon is perhaps the richest fishery in our country. Anglers catch species of carp fish here, but also perch, zander, pike and salmon. And although, as in all waters of our country, catching a large specimen may take some time, many anglers still try their luck. It is also an important place for bird lovers. It is here that the routes of their travels intersect. At the Szczecin Lagoon you can observe terns, gulls and lapwings, geese and cranes, cormorants and grebes. Often you can also see white-tailed eagles. The Szczecin Lagoon, especially in the vicinity of Czarnocin, is quite shallow, so beginner fans of windsurfing and kitesurfing are eager to train here. The network of ports and marinas is also a motivation for sailors to practice this sport right here.
