Wdzydze (Kashubian Jezoro Wdzëcczé), also known as the Kashubian Sea, Big Water and Szerzawa - is a lake in the Tuchola Forest in the Kościerzyna County (Pomeranian Voivodeship), in the region of South Kashubia.[1]

Holds the five linked lakes: Wdzydze, Radolne, Gołuń, Jelenie and Słupinko.

The whole lake is part of the Wdzydze Landscape Park.

The lake has many large islands ( including Ostrów Wielki which is inhabited, Ostrów Mały, Sorka, Sidły and Glonek), which the total area of them is 150.7 hectares. Through the lake the river Wda flows.

In the lake, which does not have a full connection with the Baltic Sea, lives the fish brown trout. Its presence in the lake is disputed by ichthyologists.[2]
