General presentation
Augustów
Water and forest town around the Augustów Canal, with lakes, kayaks, boats and green resort atmosphere.

See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: very seasonal and mosquitoes possible. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.
