 A natural rowing course situated in a Landscape Park, protected by the program Natura 2000 is a wonderful place to rest and to play water sports. The post-glacial lake is a sheltered spot. The rowing club is situated just by the lake shore, near the regatta course, so it is very easy, comfortable and safe to keep the boats and to go down the water. The area of the club is fenced in and monitoring 24 hours a day. 

Near the regatta course, there is a historical tower, 32 meters high, which provides a great opportunity to admire wonderful views of the lake as well as the regatta course. The activists of our “Goplo Kruszwica” Rowing Club have great experience in organising rowing competitions, including European Championships with over 1000 competitors. We have vast rescue and medical services. Near the regatta course, there is a restaurant which serves tasty meals. There is also a guarded car park for about 300 cars and buses.
