Nearly three sides of Dzierżążno are surrounded by forests. On its edge lies Jezioro Mezowskie Małe, with a beautiful island. Fishing is possible on the private lake; check access and permits before visiting. This lets you combine a specific activity with views of the wooded surroundings, while keeping the lake’s private status in mind.

Private Lakes and Activities

Another private body of water is Jezioro Dzierżąskie, where kayaking is possible. Before visiting, check current permits and arrangements for launching your kayak. Fishing is also offered at this lake: SeliRaj offers it from its own pier; permits can be purchased on site. Check the current regulations before your arrival. This helps you distinguish between the two bodies of water and their different activity options when planning your visit.

SeliRaj: Alpacas and Workshops

SeliRaj is located at 2 Słoneczna Street in Dzierżążno. Activities with the friendly alpacas include walks, cuddling and feeding. SeliRaj also offers individual and group alpaca-assisted therapy for children and adults. Meetups and workshops are intended for schools, preschools and so-called green schools. As activities and programs may change, it is recommended that you get in touch in advance; workshops should be booked ahead of time. If you would like to include these activities in your stay, it is best to confirm participation before planning the rest of your trip around them.

Street Workout and Getting There

Three street workout stations were installed at the primary school in Dzierżążno. The installation was reported as completed in September 2021. A municipal project report dated December 16, 2021, described the project as a completed tourism and recreation investment intended to give residents and tourists in the Kashubian Switzerland access to high-quality street workout equipment. Check locally on the current condition of the facility before visiting.

Culture and Routes in the Wider Karthaus Destination

In Kartuzy, the Gothic collegiate church is a 14th-century building. It is one of Pomerania’s most valuable architectural monuments, unique on a national scale, and a testament to the work of the Carthusian Order. Its distinctive Baroque roof, shaped like a coffin lid, symbolizes the Order’s monastic ideal, expressed in the motto “memento mori.” This church offers a distinctive historical highlight in the wider Karthaus destination.

The Franciszek Treder Kashubian Museum in Kartuzy presents literature, material culture, language, regional history and traditions. Its exhibits are displayed in eight galleries in the main building. They include Bazyli’s forge, the “Kaszubska współczesność z korzeni wyrasta” exhibition and temporary exhibitions. For visitors looking to include regional culture alongside landscapes and activities, the museum offers a focused introduction to Kashubian themes.

One specific route option in the wider destination is Nordic Walking Route No. 1: it covers 8.4 km and takes about two hours, leading from Ławka Asesora via Kosy and Bilowo to Kartuzy. These details come from a municipal route description dated June 27, 2016; check the route again before your trip.
