Ice sailing Possible activities in my area

In wintertime the lakes and canals of northeastern Poland turn into huge, flat and snow-covered ice fields. Over two thousand lakes of different acreage plus hundreds of rivers and canals are situated in that region. The Sniardwy, Mamry, Niegocin, Beldany and Nidzkie are the largest lakes.

In the northwestern part of the country there are also many lakes that freeze over in wintertime, however, they are not so large as those in northeastern Poland. The artificial water bodies by the dams in southern Poland freeze as well.

Very popular with sailors in summertime, all these natural and artificial lakes offer excellent conditions for iceboating in winter. Fans of ice sailing can find in Poland all they need: huge ice-covered areas and strong winds that allow them to reach great acceleration.

These natural ice fields are also very attractive for skaters. There, besides skating, they can also find lots of opportunities to spend time in an interesting way.

Thank for watching
