The Bory Tucholskie National Park was established in 1996. There are 21 unique lakes there, the deepest is Ostrowite Lake, but also the rare lobelia lakes (Wielkie Gacno, Małe Gacno, Nierybno and Głuche) deserve attention, one of the most popular tourist attractions is Struga Siedmiu Jezior, a peculiar "river" with a length of 14 km where lakes are connected in a sequence: Ostrowite, Zielone, Jeleń, Bełczak, Główka, Płęsno and Skrzynka-Mielnica.
In the Park you can find rare species of plants, such as sundew or clubmoss, as well as over 300 species of fungi (within the National Park you are must not collect them).
