The Lupow rises 114 meters above sea level in Jezioro Obrowo Duże ( Great Wobbrower See ), flows through Jezioro Jasień ( Jassener See ) and meanders northwest through the ground moraine landscape to Jezioro Gardno ( Garder See ), into which it pushes a large delta . It flows through the lake and flows into the Baltic Sea between Rowy ( Rowe ) and Rówek ( Klein Rowe ) .

'Rowe Painter's Colony'
The German painter Max Pechstein spent every summer in Rowe from 1927 to 1944 and gathered artist friends who tried to capture the various atmospheric images in the picturesque dune and coastal landscape of the Lupow estuary in their works. The circle of artists also included Otto Priebe († 1945 in Stolp ) and Walter Zuchors (1870–1947).
The preserved works with motifs from this coastal region include z. B. Max Pechstein's Lupow estuary 1927, oil on canvas, 51 × 59.5 cm, and Walter Zuchors' Dunes near Leba , 1942, oil on canvas, 80 × 58 cm.
