The Augustów Forest begins 4 km away. Our guests regularly bring their dogs — they run around the fenced grounds, swim in the lake and join their owners at breakfast. A holiday with your dog in Podlaskie — by the lake and surrounded by the Augustów Forest.

Augustów is a paradise for active dogs — forests, beaches and trails for every day of your stay.

0 km — on siteAugustów Forest
One of Europe's largest forest complexes — with more than 200 km of walking trails. Recommended routes include the yellow Augustów–Mikaszówka trail (62 km, along the lakes) and the green trail beside the Augustów Canal (40 km, through the heart of the forest). The woodland is full of scents — your dog will love it. Important: keep your dog on a lead in the forest, follow the land manager's signs and check the current rules before entering a protected area. The forest also has a higher risk of ticks — bring repellent and check your dog after every walk.
4 km from VITABoulevard along the Netta River and Lake Necko
A promenade along the Netta River and Lake Necko. Take an evening walk with your dog and watch the sun set over the lake. Along the way, you can sit on a bench and enjoy Augustów's famous blueberry buns.

The green trail along the Canal (40 km) is a beautiful, level walking route. Shaded by trees and peaceful — ideal for a longer walk with your dog. You can watch boats pass through the historic locks. Dogs must be kept on a lead — including in Wigry and Biebrza National Parks.
