Paprocany Recreation Center (50 meters away from the hotel)
The Paprocanskie Lake is a beautifully situated body of water. Its location, in the neighborhood of an abundant forest with numerous paths, makes it possible to organize walking and cycling trips. On the south shore you will notice a historic
19th century duke’s Shooting Lodge Promnice, built in an interesting architectural style. The lake abounds in fish, which attracts many keen anglers to us. Each year, anglers competitions are held on the shores of the lake. Closer to the city there is an attractive recreational center. On its grounds one will find a sandy bathing beach, guarded in summer. Next to the beach one can rent recreation equipment (kayaks, water bikes). We also invite parents with their children to spend some time on a colorful playground. Teenagers will probably be interested to play on volleyball and basketball fields. Sports and recreation outdoor events, fairs and concerts are also very popular.
