Things to do in Łagów
Łagów in the Lubusz region sits on a narrow isthmus between two lakes: the deep Lake Ciecz, nearly 59 metres at its deepest, and the shallower Lake Łagowskie. Above the village rises the castle of the Knights Hospitaller with its tall tower, and two old town gates – the Polish Gate and the March Gate – lead into the centre. On the eastern edge stands a brick railway viaduct from the early 20th century with a view over Łagów. Every year the amphitheatre by the lake hosts the Lubusz Film Summer festival. A place for those who enjoy kayaking, walks in the beech woods of the Łagów Landscape Park and a stay overlooking the water.
