Lakes in a quiet corner of Poland. Even Karol Wojtyła delighted
There are lakes whose sight hypnotizes and stays in the heart forever. In Bieszczady you can find such a treasure, and interestingly he was appreciated even by a great Pole.
Duszatyńskie lakes, because we are talking about them in the province. Podkarpackie on the western slopes of Chryszczata near the village of Duszratyn. They have an interesting history and attract lovers of beautiful landscapes. There are many people fans of this place, and among them was once Karol Wojtyła, later Pope John Paul II. What charmed him there?
Duszatin lakes and their qualities
Although many of us in the Bieszczady Mountains mainly associate Solina Lake, the aforementioned waters are one of the most beautiful. Duszatyńskie lakes are part of the Zawiezło reserve, and this name refers to them. The tanks were created in 1907 as a result of the detachment and observation of the Western slope of Chryszczata in the so -called Stew the forest. At that time they were three landslides.
Today, tourists can still admire the local landscape and relax in silence. The lakes are surrounded by forest and have an aura of mystery. We will breathe clean air with them and lose ourselves in wild nature. For some, it is too wild – at the bottom of the lakes even the roots and stumps of tree trunks are visible, which have been sunk earlier by the waters of the stream. However, if you plan to spend your holidays in the Bieszczady Mountains, you can treat the Duszatyńskie lakes as an interesting point of the trip.
The lake can be found on the Red Trail route (Beskid’s main trail), on a section running from Komańcza to Chryszczata. It is best to get to Duszatin along forest roads, leave the car in the parking lot and go on a journey. This one should take about 1.5 hours.
What did Karol Wojtyła do there?
Many lovers of these places will be interested in the fact that Karol Wojtyła chose rest on the Duszatyński lakes. As the Gazeta.pl portal points out, the Great Pole celebrated Holy Masses in the area.
“I will never forget these lakes, which surprised us along the way as if two tanks of unfathomable sleep. The metal was slept mixed with the reflection of a bright August night. However, it was not. Suddenly, when we stood so staring – I will not forget for the rest of my life” – he was to write in his art “in front of the jeweler store”.
