Zegrze Południowe: Water Circuit, Cycling Routes and Zegrze Fortress

Water landscape on Jezioro Zegrzyńskie

Zegrze Południowe is located on the 37.6-kilometre-long great water circuit of Jezioro Zegrzyńskie. There is a fishing landing stage on ul. Rybaki as well as a marina operated by Warszawskie Towarzystwo Wioślarskie. The 37.6 kilometres provide the circuit with its own planning framework for an excursion; the fishing landing stage and the marina serve as specific points on the water alongside it. This gives you different places to stop for your day by the water, as well as the great circuit as a distinct landscape reference. Those planning their trip along Jezioro Zegrzyńskie will find Zegrze Południowe to be a place where water sports, boating and orientation along a longer circular route come together.

Boats and sailing training

In summer, Wypożyczalnia Omeg in Zegrze Południowe offers ten six-seater boats for hire. Rental hours are from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. The fixed capacity of six people and the time window from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. provide specific parameters for an excursion. This makes it possible to plan a summer day on the water clearly in terms of time, without unnecessarily restricting the day's schedule. In addition, Sailing Legia offers foil training at its harbour in Zegrze Południowe on Ocean Zegrzyński. Sailing Legia also offers regatta training with its TOM28 fleet.

Cycling routes and Narew observations

Two cycling routes pass through Zegrze Południowe. The Trasa obwodowa runs via Dębe, Poddębie, Sikory and Góra. The Trasa narwiańska leads from Zegrze Południowe via Borowa Góra, Serock, Łacha and Gąsiorowo. An itinerary via Dębe, Poddębie, Sikory and Góra therefore follows a different route from the one via Borowa Góra, Serock, Łacha and Gąsiorowo. On the circular cycling route, you can plan birdwatching on the Narew terrace as well as observe beaver activity at the mouth of the Kanał Komornicki into the Narew. This allows cycling stages to be combined with nature observations.

Barracks and Zegrze Fortress

History is also part of the character of Zegrze Południowe. The barracks complex in Zagroby was built between 1891 and 1897. The barracks are among the best-preserved historic monuments in Zegrze Południowe and were an integral part of Zegrze Fortress. A branch of the Nieporęt Municipal Library is located in the converted barracks casino (No. 14) in Zegrze Południowe.

Choose accommodation to suit your travel plans

When considering a hotel, holiday apartment or holiday home in Zegrze Południowe, you can use the focus of your days as a guide: water activities, cycling routes and the barracks each offer a different emphasis. The choice of accommodation remains a personal decision based on your preferred daily rhythm. Those who enjoy including a variety of experiences in their plans can consider the activities and places separately and use them to shape their own stay in Zegrze Południowe.
