Gorło

Gorło lies on the shore of Lake Ułówki. If you are considering cycling, lake scenery or outdoor activities when planning your trip, you will find several specific points of interest here: a green cycling route passes through the village, and the orange-marked “Wokół Łaśmiad” circular route also runs through Gorło. Added to this are the lakeside location and a wide range of activities for guests of AlleGorło. This gives you the opportunity to weigh up whether tours, the connection to the water or activities in the area will be decisive in choosing your destination.

Ułówki and the lake complex

Lake Ułówki near Gorło covers 264.82 hectares and is up to 25.5 metres deep. It is connected to Lake Łaśmiady and forms its western arm. If you are interested in the local waterways, you can take this geographical connection into account when finding your bearings: Ułówki does not stand alone, but is part of the lake complex of Ułówki, Łaśmiady and Rekąty. The total area of the complex is about 1,400 hectares.

AlleGorło, an agritourism farm in the village of Gorło, is also located within this lake complex.

When planning your trip, you can consider which of these activities are of particular interest to you.

Cycling routes through Gorło

The green cycling route runs from Stare Juchy via Zawady Ełckie and Gorłówko and back to Stare Juchy. Gorło lies on this route at kilometre 4.1. The route repeatedly offers views of Lake Ułówki and its surroundings. Knowing the precise route is useful for planning your trip: Gorło is a point on the circular route that starts and ends in Stare Juchy. The recurring views of the lake give the cycling route a clear connection to the landscape.

A longer route option is the orange-marked “Wokół Łaśmiad” circular route. It is about 31.7 kilometres long and passes through Stare Juchy, Gorło, Zawady Ełckie, Sajzy, Piaski, Malinówka, Bałamutowo, Łaśmiady, Jeziorowskie and Liski. The approximate length and the sequence of places listed give you an idea of which circular tour you might consider including in your travel plans. The green cycling route and “Wokół Łaśmiad” are two separately described options; their details should not be combined into a single route.

More destinations and local information

Carp, crucian carp, bream, zander, catfish, pike and eels can be caught in Lake Ułówki. Its variety of fish also makes the lake interesting to travellers who are considering fishing during their stay. The nearby forest lake Ślepieniec, considered worth visiting, lies north of the road between Stare Juchy and Gorło. Lake Ułówki in the village and another body of water in the surrounding area thus offer different points of interest for a stay.

A PKS bus stop on the Ełk–Stare Juchy–Gorłówko route is listed about one kilometre from Gorło. It offers an additional point of reference when exploring the area. Other places to discover include Sajzy, Regiel, Guty Rożyńskie, Chrzanowo, Laśmiady, Ruska Wies, Szeligi and Miluki.
