Lubon: Mechowisko Radość Nature Reserve

Nature in Lubon

The “Mechowisko Radość” Nature Reserve is located in Luboń. Lake Kielskie is another local point of interest for nature lovers. The nature reserve covers 9.59 hectares and protects an alkaline peat bog ecosystem with a unique flora of mosses and vascular plants. Mechowisko Radość developed from a mesotrophic charophyte lake arm that was gradually silted up. The present-day bog landscape and the lake’s former shape are therefore part of a continuous history of formation.

The Luboń sołectwo (village administrative unit) lies within the “Fragment of the Tuchola Forests” Protected Landscape Area. Lake Kielskie is located in Pomeranian Voivodeship, Bytów County and Lipnica Commune, between Zapceń, Luboń and Prądzonka. When finding your way around, you will encounter different geographical levels: the protected landscape setting of the sołectwo and the lake’s regional location in relation to the named places. This distinction helps you keep the names separate when planning your trip.

Access to Lake Kielskie

The best way to reach Lake Kielskie is via National Road 212. At Zapceń, continue towards Stoltmany or Luboń. In Luboń, a car park and a pier are designated at the lake. Before setting out, check local road conditions and the current conditions at the access point. This will help you plan your journey to the lake and take the designated points for Luboń into account.

Fishing, cycling and rentals

Fishing is possible as a visitor activity at Lake Kielskie, and various facilities are also available for use. If you would like to fish, check the applicable rules, any required permits and current conditions in advance. The “Kołowe Stegne Gochów” cycling route passes through Luboń and is marked in green. Check the markings locally before setting off so you can follow the local signage.

Rental services in Lipnica Commune may also be relevant to your plans: most agritourism establishments there offer fishing equipment, kayaks, boats and bicycles for rent. If you need a particular item for your trip, check its availability with the relevant establishment in advance. This information refers to Lipnica Commune, not to a specific offer in Luboń.

Other nearby points of interest

In nearby Hamer-Młyn, there is an old mill beside a picturesque stream. If you would like to include a historic building in your trip alongside the bog and lake, you can consider Hamer-Młyn as another point of interest.

A description from May 2021 states that field roads are the only access to Manufaktura Pstrąga in Luboń. As road surfaces can change, check the current road conditions before travelling there. This dated access information refers to the manufactory itself.
