Lake Jeleń (Kaszb. Jezoro Jeléń or Gëlink) is a lobelia lake located in the northern urban area of Bytów and is primarily used for recreation and tourism. It is a very clean lake. This is evidenced by the numerous lobelia and quillwort, as well as waterweed and hornwort, and fish such as pike, eel, perch and roach. The lake covers an area of 88.9 ha. It is the largest and deepest reservoir in the Bytów commune. Lake Jeleń is a municipal swimming area, which is why it is often visited not only by Bytów residents, but also by tourists vacationing in the Bytów region. Lake Jeleń is a place for active and safe recreation with a functional and permanent playground, a place for a bonfire, a promenade, a green gym and sanitary facilities adapted for the disabled. There is a year-round hotel with a restaurant on the premises of the resort. https://www.bytow.com.pl/Jezioro-Jelen-,154,349

After the end of the war, from March to May 1945, the castle was a transit camp, a torture chamber for Poles established by the Russian NKVD, many citizens of the Bytów region lost their health and lives here.

The Gothic Teutonic Castle in Bytów is the most important attraction in the city. It was built in the early 15th century. The Teutonic Knights did not live there for long, as the castle was captured by the troops of Władysław Jagiełło in 1410. It was then given to new owners thanks to the First Peace of Toruń. During these turbulent times, the castle often changed owners, so its history is extremely interesting and it is definitely worth visiting it with a guide.
