This detour is definitely worth it. The Suchar Wielkie is the largest of 19 dystrophic glacial lakes in the Wigry National Park, lakes with no above-ground inflow and outflow, low in minerals and surrounded by peat bog, but also simply enchanting to look at. He is under strict protection, but can be reached via a platform for.

Hiking

The very access to Lake Suchar Wielki is beautiful - among tall trees, on a charming wooden footbridge. The information board here says that in Wigry National Park it is the largest polyhumus (dystrophic) lake. It sounds very serious, but I have no idea what it means! What I do know is that it is beautiful here and you have to visit and relax.
