Company picnics in Chelm picnics by the Uherka and Zoltance
Company picnics in Chelm flourish best where the city meets the water. The natural heart of such outdoor events is Lake Zoltance in the Uherka valley, a sprawling bathing area with a jetty, a volleyball court, a water-equipment rental point and a designated spot for barbecue and bonfire. The embankment and cycling promenade linking the city with the reservoir make this terrain a ready backdrop for a large family day: there is room to set up a stage, lay out activity zones and catering marquees, while participants have water, beach and recreation all in one place.
When you want an intimate event without leaving the centre, the City Park on the Uherka does the job. After its refurbishment the park gained a parents' pavilion with a changing table and barrier-free ramps over a pond fed by the Uherka. Each year the town hall holds Chelm fetes, family picnics and open-air cinema here, so the lakeside paths are well suited to integration for a smaller team or an afternoon gathering with employees' families in the heart of the city.
Lake Zoltance and the City Park: water and greenery for every scale
Lake Zoltance in the Uherka valley offers a beach, a jetty and a water-equipment rental point, and its sprawling space holds a stage, catering and several activity zones at once. Together with the designated barbecue and bonfire spot, it forms a complete set for an outdoor family day. The City Park on the Uherka, with a pond and lakeside paths right in the centre, suits a meeting close to the office without arranging transport to the outskirts.
Just outside Chelm, more intimate facilities await. The Stankow reservoir on the Uherka gives open waterside ground beside the Stankow nature trail in the landscape park, while Ranczo Budrysa in Strupin Duzy adds a permanent banquet marquee, water activities and on-site lodging if the picnic is to run into the evening. For teams who enjoy cycling, the Las Borek forest loop works well as an active block in the programme.
Local distinctions you will not copy anywhere else
The strength of Chelm picnics lies in local features found nowhere else. The Chelm Chalk Tunnels, a labyrinth of corridors carved in chalk beneath the centre, with the legend of the Spirit Bieluch, make a powerful integration interlude: a guided tour through the cool underground between blocks of outdoor games. As a fallback for unpredictable weather there is the Chelm Water Park, where the pool sits beside an Active Zone with squash and bowling, providing a ready sports-and-recreation module under cover.
When a company plans a water trip for a larger group, the region offers two different classes of destination. Further out, already in the Dorohusk commune, lies Lake Husynne with a shallow, gently sloping beach safe for families with children, a suburban outing rather than a meeting within city limits. For a full day out we reach further still, to the resort of Okuninka on Lake Biale and deeper into the Leczna-Wlodawa Lake District, with its promenade, rental points and supervised bathing areas. We deliberately keep these two directions separate in the programme, because they mean a different distance and a different character of day.
Frequently asked
The strongest terrain is Lake Zoltance in the Uherka valley, with a beach, jetty, sports court, water-equipment rental and a designated barbecue and bonfire spot, and its sprawling space takes a stage, catering and activity zones. For an intimate event without leaving the city we suggest the City Park on the Uherka.
The fullest fun by the water comes in high summer, when the bathing areas at Zoltance and Husynne are open and Lake Biale in Okuninka tempts with water sports. Early autumn can be just as rewarding, cooler for cycling activities in the Las Borek forest, and for fickle weather we always keep the Chelm Water Park and the chalk tunnels up our sleeve.
For children we favour the safe beach at Lake Husynne, the playground in the City Park and horse riding at a Chelm stable by the orchard. Adults are drawn in by paintball, quad bikes and a cycling block through the Las Borek forest, while a shared highlight is often a descent into the Chelm Chalk Tunnels with the legend of the Spirit Bieluch as an interlude between activities.
