„Discover the secret of Kruklanki” – educational nature path
The path we would like to recommend you is about 7 km long. It leads trough the diversified countryside and around the village of Kruklanki. The landscape was originally shaped thousands of years ago by the ice cap and was subsequently modified by man. You will be walking through the village itself, along the fringers of farmland, through a forest, along a lake and pond, following dirt roads and an abandoned railway embankment. Nature lovers will appreciate the diversity of plant communities and abundance of animal life. Those fond of history will find along the way many interesting pieces of architecture whose originality and often present pitiful condition make one reflect on the vivid but sometimes tragic history of Masuria.
 

We have prepared for you two routes: the shorter one, intended for the less persevering, is over 3 km long, and the longer one, for more seasoned hikers, is 3km longer. We hope the path will be a source of great memories and a satisfactory experience both in terms of expanding your knowledge and pleasing the eye. We would also like to ask you to take due care while on the trail as some places may be dangerous if one chooses not to respect the warning signs on the way. This concerns in particular the fortifications and the destroyed bridge. We also kindly ask you not to damage the path’s infrastructure and to respect the plant and animal life along the way.
Before hitting the road, it will be wise to put on comfortable hiking boots and take a pair of binoculars, a camera and a mosquito repellent.

The path length is about 2,5 km, so it is neither difficult nor too long.

The path also leads by an old anti-tank ditch, reminding passers-by of the events of WWII.
