Active on the water – sailing, kayaking and more
The Masurian lakes constantly attract tourists from all over the country. Not only do they look wonderful, but they also allow you to enjoy numerous water sports and observe the surroundings from a completely different perspective. There is something for everyone here. We particularly recommend:
- sailing – the Great Masurian Lakes Trail is a mecca for sailors. Just rent a yacht in Giżycko or Mikołajki to feel the wind in your hair and true freedom
- canoeing – a trip down the picturesque Krutynia River is a journey through the heart of Masurian nature, reserves and quiet corners inaccessible from land. You will remember it for a long time
- modern water sports – SUP boarding, windsurfing and kitesurfing are ideal for adrenaline lovers. Many centres offer professional training and equipment rental. So you don't need to bring your own.
Don't be afraid to try new things. Masuria is the perfect place to learn to sail. If you are planning a family trip, you can use pedal boats or rent a boat. An interesting alternative is to book a passenger ship cruise. On board, you can try local delicacies. You can relax and admire the views at your leisure.
Cycling and walking trails worth discovering
Although mainly famous for its lakes, this part of the country has much more to offer. There are plenty of hills, dense forests and numerous paths. Put on some comfortable shoes or get on your bike and head out into the countryside. Be sure to visit the Piska Forest. It is one of the largest forest complexes in Poland. There you will find dozens of kilometres of walking and cycling trails of varying degrees of difficulty. You will be able to breathe deeply and smell the pine trees and moss. With a bit of luck, you will encounter animals and observe them in their natural habitat. On warmer days, you can end your walk with a picnic in a forest clearing. Every meal tastes better in beautiful surroundings.
How to plan the perfect day to combine adventure and relaxation?
The secret to a successful holiday in Masuria lies in balance. Do not try to visit all the places mentioned in guidebooks at all costs. Haste makes waste. Instead, try to organise your stay so that you can skilfully combine activity and blissful laziness. How to do it? After an intense day full of water sports, spend the next one relaxing. Sunbathe on the beach or read a book on a bench by the water. Another excellent idea is to sample delicious dishes in local restaurants and bars. When choosing a 4-star hotel in Masuria such as Hotel Robert's Port, you will also be able to visit the SPA zone. Take advantage of relaxing massages and regenerative treatments. An interesting solution is also to divide the day into two parts. Spend the morning, when you have the most energy, kayaking or cycling. Reserve the afternoon for a nap in a hammock or a peaceful boat trip at sunset. Always follow what your body needs. If you feel a little tired, slow down. Allow yourself to slowly soak up the atmosphere of your surroundings. Admire the Masurian nature in silence. Observe the people and animals around you. It is your holiday and you decide how you spend it.
