Historically, the area has been sparsely populated, preserving much of its natural beauty and tranquility. Visitors to Drawsko Landscape Park can engage in activities ranging from hiking and cycling along well-marked trails to kayaking and fishing on the interconnected lakes and rivers. Scenic spots like the Twardogóra Hill provide panoramic views of the surrounding forests and water bodies.
