Narach

Narach is the largest lake in the country and the centre of a whole industry of sanatoria that has no real equivalent in western Europe, and where people come for a fortnight of treatments, walks and mineral water as a matter of routine. The shore holds a long public beach, a national park and a whole string of institutional resorts among the pines. Bicycles and boats of all kinds can be hired here all summer. Ice fishing takes over completely through the cold months. Swimmers should know that the lake produces a skin itch in high summer.
