Bród Stary: Trails, Lakes and Regional Cuisine

If you are looking for a hotel in Bród Stary, you can take into account the nature and activity options in the Suwałki Municipality and the wider region when planning your trip. Hiking trails, cycling routes, kayaking routes and regional cuisine offer different ways to enjoy your stay.

Enjoy outdoor activities

In the Suwałki Municipality, active recreation includes excursions along hiking and cycling trails and kayaking routes. There are also numerous tourist trails and rental outlets for water sports equipment. This selection combines activities on land with activities on the water, offering different ways to spend active days on holiday. When choosing between a hike, a cycling route and a kayaking trip, you can plan your days around the type of activity you prefer.

Hiking trails and landscapes

One specific example in the wider region is the green-marked circular trail “Nad sucharami.” It is 7.2 kilometres long and begins and ends near the headquarters of Wigierski National Park in Krzywe. Along the route, varied forests give way to small woodland lakes, known as “Suchary,” and open agricultural landscapes. This combination makes the circular trail an interesting option if you would like to experience different landscapes on a hike. Its 7.2-kilometre length also gives you a clear idea of how much time to allow for the day. You can also walk the nearby “Las” and “Suchary” trails as an addition to your hike on “Nad sucharami.” The route is also used as a ski trail; check current conditions before using it in winter.

Kayaking and cycling in the wider region

The Czarna Hańcza is a well-known and highly regarded kayaking route in the wider region. There is also a specific option for cyclists: the cycling route through the Czarna Hańcza Valley is signposted along most of its length. The region’s activity options therefore include different possibilities side by side: a kayaking route on the water and a cycling route that is signposted for most of its course.

Lakes, nature and regional cuisine

The Suwałki Municipality has forests and numerous lakes, as well as a varied landscape shaped by the Ice Age. Important natural resources can be found in Wigierski National Park. In the wider region, Lake Wigry covers almost 2,200 hectares. These details offer different perspectives on nature, from the municipality’s forests and lakes to one of the region’s large bodies of water.

Sękacz is a regional speciality of Suwalszczyzna. Other dishes from the region include Soczewiaki, lard with cracklings, lightly pickled cucumbers and Kartacze. If you would like to include regional food culture in your travel plans alongside nature and outdoor activities, these dishes offer another way to experience Suwalszczyzna.

Getting oriented in Krzywe

Krzywe has a car park that is available year-round and a tourist information centre. Together, these facilities offer practical help with planning in the region. Krzywe is also near the starting and ending points of the “Nad sucharami” circular trail.
