Lake Łęczek has high and steep banks, only in the south-eastern part, flat and marshy at the stream outlet. Here, near the lake, there are single buildings of Stare Kiejkuty, and the village is located about 1400 m further southwest from the lake shores. In addition, the lake is surrounded on all sides by vast forests and due to the marshes around the lake, access is difficult. You can get there by the road from Szczytno to Babięta. After passing Stare Kiejkuty, turn left onto the road that leads to the lake. There are several wooden piers by the lake. https://www.jezioro.com.pl/przyroda/index/jeziora/view/jeziora/item/420

Lake Łęsk, because that is the correct name of this reservoir. In the vast majority of it has a very short coastal shoal, after which there is a strong drop. Only in the southern part does the bottom drop more gently. The bottom is mostly quite sandy and rather gravelly-sandy - only in a few shallower places is it silted up. The lake is surrounded by forests - from the eastern shore stretches the Kulka Reserve with an area of 12.39 ha. It is located in the Szczytno district, in the Dźwierzuty commune, about 1.2 km from the town of Orzyny. Created in 1955 to preserve steppe vegetation, a fragment of the forest and protected plants. The area is very peaceful, ideal for both beachgoers and anglers. https://mazury24.eu/jeziora/jezioro-lesk,883

The author of the attraction did not write anything about it. Therefore, I have allowed myself to post two short notes below. Why two? Because the attraction is indicated as Lake Łęczek, while the title of the attraction refers to Lake Łęsk, because that is its name. I will only add that both lakes are connected by a narrow strait.

Lake Piasutno is not very clean, which makes it significantly different from the neighboring lake Nożyce. The bottom is muddy, overgrown with very abundant underwater vegetation. The lake is quite crowded with tourists, and in the season it is littered.

Serene spot for views and, in summer, refreshing baths in the clean lake north of Rekownica. Lake Konik (also called Klimek) is located in the Szczytno district, in the Jedwabno commune - in the Masurian Lake District. The reservoir is in the shape of an inverted letter C. The shores are varied - flat in the south, and steep among the forests. It connects with Lake Rekowe in the north, and from the southern end of the lake flows a stream called Struga Rekownicka, flowing into the Omulew River. In the southern part there is also a connection with a small stream flowing out of Lake Głęboczek. Not far away in the north-east is the Galwica Reserve. The quiet area encourages recreation by the water, the lake is also popular among anglers. https://mazury24.eu/jeziora/jezioro-konik,900

Lake Głęboczek is located in the Szczytno district, in the Jedwabno commune. The reservoir has an irregular shape - it is elongated from the north-east to the south-west, where there is a small bay. The shores of the lake are rather high and hilly, covered with pine forest, only along the shoreline, apart from the bathing area, there are also deciduous trees - birches and alders. On the south-east side, on the high shore, there are quite extensive campsites with wooden shelters. The lake has clear water throughout the year. The bottom and the coastal shoal are sandy, in places rocky. Emergent aquatic vegetation consists mainly of reed, which only in some parts of the lake grows on its shores. Submerged vegetation is soft, in places covers the coastal shoal only on the west and north sides. On the south-east side, the shoal is free of vegetation and covered with sand. The lake is very popular with tourists in the season. https://mazury24.eu/jeziora/jezioro-gleboczek,903
