Jezioro Hańcza – north shore (Stara Hańcza)
On the north shore Nurkomania describes a rock wall down to about 30 m, springs and a littoral zone with submerged trees where brown trout may be seen. The parking at Stara Hańcza is far from the water, and the bottom is very muddy near the shore. A boat or pontoon helps, but diving without one is possible.
