Orzechowo: Village History and Lakes
Orzechowo can be considered for trip planning from two specific perspectives: the village’s history and two lakes in the surrounding area. The historical information provides a timeline; the lakes’ locations, areas and maximum depths distinguish them from one another. This gives you clear points of reference when deciding whether to focus on local history or the geography of the surrounding area. If you are looking for a hotel in Orzechowo, you can use these topics to help plan your trip.
Key Historical Facts About the Village
Orzechowo was the first rent-paying village in the area of today’s Stare Juchy municipality. Land for the village was granted on 24 February 1538. This places the village in its historical context and records a precisely dated event. The term “rent-paying village” describes Orzechowo’s status in the area of today’s municipality; 24 February 1538 marks the date on which the land was granted. The two details serve different purposes in establishing a timeline: one characterizes the place, while the other anchors an event to a date.
Another point of cultural and historical interest is an Evangelical family cemetery from the 19th century, located on the road to Gawliki Małe. An entry dated 8 September 1997, under number 1064, is associated with the cemetery. The dates mark different milestones: the land grant in 1538, the cemetery in the 19th century and the entry in 1997. The precise date of the entry should therefore not be confused with the cemetery’s historical dating.
Two Lakes with Different Measurements
Orzechówko (Szóstak Mały) lies south of the village of Orzechowo. The lake covers 16.30 hectares and is up to 4.7 metres deep. Szóstak lies between the villages of Orzechowo and Szczecinowo; it covers 490.05 hectares and has a maximum depth of 28.6 metres. Orzechówko is also called Szóstak Mały. Szóstak is a separate lake, so its name should not be confused with the alternative name of the other body of water.
The figures make the contrast clear: Szóstak has around thirty times the area and about six times the maximum depth of Orzechówko. The difference in area is 473.75 hectares; the lakes differ in maximum depth by 23.9 metres. In each case, depth refers to the maximum, not the average depth across the entire lake. Area and maximum depth therefore describe two different characteristics: the extent of the water’s surface and its highest stated depth. Together with the location details, these figures allow you to compare not only the scale but also the locations of the two lakes.
