Jezioro Łoby
Lake Łoby — also known locally as Wynkowskie or Loba — is a long, low-key sheet of water tucked into the rolling countryside of the Iława Lake District (Pojezierze Iławskie) in Warmia-Masuria, northeastern Poland. It sits beside the small village of Wynki in gmina Łukta, Ostróda County, around 30 km from Ostróda and 40 km from Olsztyn. There are no big holiday complexes here: just high, hilly shores, a belt of reeds, pine woodland and fields, and a reputation among anglers as a quiet place worth seeking out.
Roughly 63–78 hectares in surface area, the lake runs about 1.7 km long and 0.5 km wide, with an average depth near 5 m and a maximum of 9.6 m. The bottom is mostly sand, turning silty in places, and the shores drop steeply from the hills in some spots while fading into marshy meadows and cattail beds in others. This varied shape — deep passages, shallow weedy bays, sandy shelves — is what makes it such a well-regarded fishing water.
