Wawrowice borders Lake Skarlińskie directly to the northwest. The lake is just under seven kilometers long and covers 299 hectares. Wawrowice’s village beach is on the lake and was established and opened in 2010. This brings together, at the same destination, a direct connection to the lakeshore and a distinct village structure: Wawrowice can be explored both through its lake and its local character.

At the village beach: shoreline and facilities

The village beach has a bathing pier and a designated fire pit. A large shelter with tables and benches supplements the facilities; the site also has a large parking lot. A modern children’s playground is right next to the beach. In addition to the modern children’s playground, the village beach also has an outdoor fitness area. The village beach has a seasonal rental station for water sports equipment.

The lake surroundings and outdoor activities

Lake Skarlińskie is located in the Skarliński Nature and Landscape Protection Area and is part of a quiet zone. Its open setting amid meadows and fields is considered suitable for windsurfing. The lake is considered a fishing spot because of its diverse fish population; canoeing is also among the leisure activities in the lake’s surroundings. The quiet zone and protected area provide a landscape setting for the lake; windsurfing and fishing, by contrast, relate to specific features: its open setting and diverse fish population, respectively. This means that choosing an activity depends on a different aspect of the lake than understanding its place in the landscape. In this way, the landscape and leisure opportunities can be considered in terms of their respective significance.

Wawrowice is located in Brodnica Landscape Park. The park has numerous hiking, cycling, canoeing and horseback riding trails. The forests around Wawrowice are suitable for walking, cycling and mushroom picking. This brings together different ways of enjoying the outdoors: the park’s trails offer several types of activity, while the nearby forests also invite visitors to pick mushrooms.

The village and its landmarks

Wawrowice is a village with a settlement pattern along a single road. Several dozen buildings line the regional road. The village center is clustered around a community center by a pond; there is also a shelter by the pond. The term linear village describes the settlement’s shape and does not rule out a village center of its own by the pond. In Wawrowice, the two features exist on different levels: the regional road shapes the arrangement of the buildings, while the center is clustered around the community center and pond. The shelter by the pond complements this built focal point. Thus, the settlement axis and village center can be understood as two parts of the same village landscape.
