The Drużno Lake Reserve is a unique place on the bike trail near Elbląg, ideal for nature lovers. The lake is shallow and overgrown with reeds, and the reserve primarily protects water birds - you can see herons, cormorants and white-tailed eagles here. It is best to go there in late spring or summer, when there are the most birds. The routes around the lake lead partly along dirt roads, so it is worth taking a trekking bike and checking the forecast, because it gets muddy after rain. An interesting addition to the trip could be a cruise on the Elbląg Canal, which starts nearby.
