ABOUT THE VENUE

The Kruszwica regatta course is a natural rowing course situated in a Landscape Park, protected by programme Natura 2000. The post-glacial lake is a sheltered spot. The rowing club is located just be the lake shore, near the regatta course, so it is very easy, comfortable and safe to keep the boats and go down to the water.

Near the regatta course there is a historical tower, 32 meters high, which provides a great opportunity to admire wonderful views of the lake as well as the regatta course.

The members of “Goplo Kruszwica” Rowing Club have great experience in organising rowing competitions, including the European Rowing Under 23 Championships in 2017 and 2021 and the European Rowing Under 19 Championships in 2024. Services near the course include a good restaurant, car parking and buses.
