A ribbon lake in the Augustów Forest

Lake Serwy lies in the Podlaskie province, in the Płaska commune, in the Lithuanian Lake District and surrounded by the Augustów Forest. It stands out for the north-south alignment of its trough, unusual for this part of the region, and for a moderately developed shoreline with numerous beaches. The water is exceptionally clear, which shows in the range of fish species.

Islands and nature

The lake holds three islands — Dębowo, Lipówka and Sosnowo — with a combined area of about 12 hectares. Clean, well oxygenated water suits demanding species such as whitefish and vendace. The lake is a designated quiet zone, so combustion engines are banned; boating here means paddle or sail.

Holiday facilities

Holiday centres and campsites are spread along the shores, using the sandy beaches — one of them is the bathing area by Camp Serwy. In the village of Serwy itself a small pier reaches out over the water, a good spot for a walk at sunset.
