Forest and water

High forest density, numerous lakes, the related richness of the landscape, a varied world of wild animals and plants, and an abundance of forest undergrowth make the surrounding forests attract tourists and nature lovers. In our forests, you will find beautiful landscapes, majestic trees, berries, mushrooms, and a whole host of animals. And all this just 100 meters from the Hotel.
Please remember that the forest also has health benefits: it fights stress, kills bacteria, helps focus, alleviates depression, and improves immunity. We invite you to our forest paths, which as usual lead to Habenda.

Also called Miejskie Lake, it is the largest of the three lakes located in the area of Chodzież (12 km from Budzyń).
There is a five-kilometer path around the lake, which leads into a promenade. It is often used by walkers and cyclists.
The water surface area, according to various sources, ranges from 104.38 ha to 115.6 ha. The average depth of the lake is about 3.0 m, while its maximum depth is 6.7 m. The water surface is located at an altitude of about 54 m above sea level.
Chodzieskie Lake and the surrounding area is a great place for photography. The sunrises and sunsets here are stunning.
It is also a paradise for anglers. You can often catch bream, bream, tench, and crucian carp, but you may also come across carp and catfish, although rarely. Eels can also be found, and the most commonly caught predators are perch, pike, and zander.

In the 18th century, it was called Koniecznym, Koniecznikiem, or Studenckim. The name Strzeleckie Lake has been in use since 1920. It is the smallest of the Chodzież lakes, with an area of 18 ha, surrounded by forest on all sides. On a hill by the western shore of the body of water stands the Art Nouveau villa Straszny Dwór from 1904, once the property of the owner of the faience factory Stanisław Mańczak. It is a glacial trough lake with a typical elongated shape and steep forested shores.
Several decades ago, the lake was connected to Lake Karczewnik and further with the Bolemką River to Miejskie Lake. The water level in the lake was alarming low, and in the 1970s a several hundred-meter pipeline was installed, and water began to be supplied from fish ponds.
There is a walking path around the lake. You can often find anglers here, as fishing competitions take place on Strzeleckie Lake. It is said that giant catfish once inhabited the lake. However, today you can expect fish such as perch, bream, tench, pike, and carp.
Old photographs and postcards reveal how Strzeleckie Lake was developed for recreational purposes in the early 20th century. On the northern shore, there was a restaurant called “Water Castle” and a fishing boat dock, as well as gondolas ferrying walkers across the lake to the Sedanplatz restaurant, which was located in the forest to the southeast of the lake. Even before 1939, the area around the lake was frequently visited not only by locals but also by weekend guests from Poznań.

This is the second gem (after Miejskie Lake) of the so-called “Chodzieska Switzerland.” It is significantly smaller, with an area of about 35 ha, and an average depth of about 4 meters. The edges of the lake are gentle slopes covered with mixed forest. Reeds and bulrush dominate the shores. However, fishing without a bridge or pier is practically impossible.
You will definitely find bream here, and you can also expect to catch carp, bream, perch, eel, or tench. However, pike may occur sporadically. In the past, it was easy to catch a good zander, but now it is extremely difficult. The lake is systematically stocked.
