The Great Mazurian Lakes Region is an area of exceptional landscape qualities and one
of Poland’s most attractive tourist destinations. It is here that nature displays the whole
splendour of it’s wealth and the clean air and lakes tempt visitors to return whenever they
can. Gizycko District lies in the heart of this land, with over 110 lakes scattered within its
boundaries, including some of Poland’s best known water bodies, such as the Mamry
Lake Complex and Lake Niegocin. In the summer, they are a haven for fans of sailing and
windsurfing. The district’s capital is the town of Gizycko, from which ships of the Mazurian
Navigation Company sail to Wegorzewo, Mikolajki and Ruciane-Nida.

           

In winter, the lakes are the scene of ice-sailing events and a paradise for those who
fancy ice fishing, while the landscape offers unforgettable sights. Winter is also the time
for enjoying the crystal-clear, crisp air during cross-country skiing escapades and sleigh
rides with bonfires.
