Mazury

The Land of a Thousand Lakes

The Land of Over 2,000 Lakes!

Both regular visitors to Masuria and those visiting this part of Poland for the first time know perfectly well that these areas are famous above all for the dense distribution of various bodies of water.

No matter where your accommodation is located, it is more than certain that a lake or a river is nearby. From the largest lakes in Poland to the most beautiful kayaking trails in all of Europe – it is all right at your fingertips.

It is the largest and incredibly popular attraction, as it combines active recreation with the opportunity to spend free time in peace and quiet. Relaxing on the beach, kayaking, sailing on the lake, motorboating, jet skiing, boat cruises, and a paradise for anglers – the list goes on and on, and there are even more attractions to discover.

Mikołajki

The aforementioned Heart of Masuria is a must-see for everyone visiting our region; surrounded by lakes and narrow straits, it enchants visitors with its unique charm and atmosphere. It primarily attracts sailors, but also those who simply delight in the beauty of nature. Essential attractions include the Sailing Village and a scenic boat cruise. It is also well worth visiting the Museum of the Polish Reformation and the church with its tall observation tower, which offers a breathtaking view of the entire village and the surrounding lakes. Mikołajki is also home to its oldest and longest street, Kajki Street, where most of the local attractions are located—the residents themselves often say, "Kajki Street is all of Mikołajki."

Mrągowo

Mrągowo is known as the City of Festivals. During the summer, you can count on great entertainment every single week – whether at the main amphitheater overlooking Lake Czos or the smaller one in the town center. Most events are accompanied by various trade, food, and service stalls, as well as attractions for children, such as amusement parks. The city is famous for major events that everyone has surely heard of: Picnic Country, the Masurian Cabaret Night, the Festival of Borderland Culture, the Wedding Hits Festival, and the Belcanto Opera Festival. In addition to these grand events, visitors can also enjoy numerous smaller local celebrations.

Krutyń

As Karol Małłek once wrote: 'He who hasn't seen the Krutynia has not seen Masuria.' This small village, located in the Piecki district, is famous for its kayaking trips along one of the most beautiful trails in Europe. While the entire route stretches over 100 km, the section starting right here in Krutynia is recommended for everyone—from absolute beginners who cannot swim to seasoned kayakers. The shallow river, with its crystal-clear water and visible riverbed, offers stunning views that stay with you long after the trip. During the summer season, the village is bustling with thousands of tourists, and the river itself can sometimes even see 'kayak traffic jams' due to its immense popularity.

Święta Lipka

In this small and beautiful village lies the Basilica of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Święta Lipka. The chapel is a magnificent Baroque monument. The origins of the Marian cult in this location date back to the 14th century when a prisoner, held in the dungeons of the Kętrzyn church, carved a statue of the Madonna and Child after being inspired by Mary. He hung the figure on a lime tree, and it soon became famous for its miracles. A chapel was then built around that very tree. It is truly a unique place that should undoubtedly be on the "must-see" list for anyone visiting the Warmia and Masuria region.

Tropicana Water Park

When writing about Mikołajki, one cannot forget the area's most popular water park, located right inside the Hotel Gołębiewski. It is a fantastic alternative for families with children, offering a wide range of attractions at the Tropicana Water Park that guarantee excitement for both kids and adults alike. There is truly something for everyone to enjoy.

Galindia

This settlement, located in the village of Bartlewo, was created for both recreational and educational purposes. It is a place for everyone who wishes to reconnect with nature and rediscover the spirit of our ancestors. Here, you can experience shamanic rituals firsthand and explore a unique, lesser-known side of history.

Mrongoville Western City

Located on the outskirts of Mrągowo, it is a place where our guests can get a taste of life in the Wild West and enjoy a delicious lunch in an authentic Western atmosphere.

Kadzidłowo Wild Animal Park

The park is home to approximately 400 animals representing over 100 different species. You can get to know all of them during a guided tour along a 2-kilometer trail that winds directly through the animals' habitats.

Giżycko

Giżycko is one of the main ports on the Masurian Lake Trail, situated between Lake Kisajno and Lake Niegocin. It is home to the Boyen Fortress, the most significant historical monument in Masuria. Built between 1843 and 1855, its primary purpose was to block the strategic passage between the two lakes. Today, the fortress serves as a vibrant cultural hub, hosting numerous outdoor events and festivals that guests can enjoy throughout the summer season.

Wolf's Lair

For those visiting Masuria who are curious about history dating back to World War II, the Wolf's Lair is a must-see. It is the former headquarters of Adolf Hitler and the Supreme Command of the Armed Forces, located in Gierłoż near Kętrzyn.
