Augustów is often called the "water capital" of Poland. The city is surrounded by 9 lakes: Sajno, Necko, Białe, Rospuda, Studzieniczne, and several smaller ones, making it a favorite destination for water sports enthusiasts.
The Augustów Lakes are known for their clean waters, and most of them have a trench-like shape and are designated as a silent zone, allowing visitors to fully enjoy relaxation in the midst of nature.
