Charzykowy - a small village near Chojnice, thanks to location directly on Lake Charzykowskie has become a mecca for sailors not only polish but also from the world.

Tourists can use the swimming, while the sailors are able to berth and enjoy the summer sunsets in the safe water harbor.

Lake Charzykowskie is located in the macro region of South Pomeranian Lake District, within the western part of Tuchola Forest and within the area of Zaborski Landscape Park; it touches the western limit of Tuchola Forest National Park. Since June 2010 it belongs to a buffer zone of Tuchola Forest Biosphere Reserve (MAB-UNESCO) (source: Eulakes ) ABC Wednesday

Tuchola Forest Biosphere Reserve covers one of the largest forests in Poland, containing mainly Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris). The landforms of the area were sculpted by a glacier that retreated at the end of the last glacial age creating characteristically long ribbon lakes. Additionally there are large clusters of inland sand dunes. There are extensive areas of peat bogs formed as a result of the overgrowing of the shallower lakes.  The most valuable part of the biosphere reserve (core zone) is " Tuchola Forest " National Park and 25 nature reserves. A buffer zone consists: Wdzydze Landscape Park , Zaborski Landscape Park, Tuchola Landscape Park and Wda Landscape Park. (Source: Nature reserves in Poland ) ABC Wednesday
