Ruciane-Nida, the pearl of Masuria – main image

Masuria is one of the most beautiful regions of Poland. For years, it has been very popular among tourists - it is most crowded in the period from July to August, but also in the off-season there are many people willing to spend their holidays at the Great Masurian Lakes. In September, lovers of peace and quiet come here, it is also the time of sailors. In winter, cross-country skiers, lovers of ice sailing, ice fishermen and fans of diving under the ice come out on the frozen surface. An increasingly popular sport is the so-called trip skating, i.e. skating on natural ice.

Vacation at the Masurian lake

Each year, thousands of Poles rest in Masuria, as well as people coming on vacation from Germany , the British Isles or Ukraine. According to the Central Statistical Office, in 2016 the inhabitants of these countries visited our country most frequently. No wonder that they liked the landscapes of Masurian lakes and the rich offer of tourist centers, which - seeing the interest growing every year - develop it dynamically. On the route of the Great Masurian Lakes, in the heart of the Piska Forest, there is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Masuria, Ruciane-Nida . This is an important point in the Masurian shipping - you can easily sail from it to, for example, Węgorzewo, Giżycko or Mikołajki. The beauty of the surrounding waters and their impressive number will delight every enthusiast of sailing holidays. Canoeists will be equally happy, especially those who go on a trip on the Nidka and Krutynia rivers. A dozen or so tourist centers are located on the nearby lakes (Guzianka Wielka and Nidzkie), there are sailing harbors and, of course, beaches. Listing the advantages of the town, one cannot ignore the greenery surrounding Ruciane-Nida. Almost 15 ha of the commune are areas included in the Masurian Landscape Park . The pine forests and deciduous forests of the Piska Forest are exceptionally beautiful here. The leading among them are the royal oaks that are 500 years old and the 200-year-old Scots pine "Lira". Together with erratic boulders, they form the showpiece of the region.

In Kołobrzeg, the head does not hurt
One can talk about Kołobrzeg for a long time, after all, it is one of the most beautiful Polish health resorts. Picturesquely situated at the mouth of the Parsęta River, on the Baltic Sea, it invites you for leisure stays, business trips, family holidays and romantic dates. It delights with the richness of the surrounding flora and fauna, enchants with fresh air and tempts with numerous leisure options. Many people associate holidays at the Polish seaside with Kołobrzeg. Many people remember school camps in a city full of monuments, visiting churches (with a mandatory point in the form of the Basilica of the Virgin Mary), a lighthouse or visits to museums. Those who have finished school see Kołobrzeg as a beautiful tourist resort with a strong spa accent. The famous Kolobrzeg peloid has been bringing relief to patients who come for treatment from Poland and other countries, including from Germany or Scandinavia. Effective in the treatment of rheumatic diseases and diseases of the musculoskeletal system, it is also a valuable export product (it is sent to foreign sanatoriums). There are also rumors that it helps to regain vigor - it is more and more often called "Kołobrzeg Viagra" for a reason. She has not been scientifically proven to work on this subject, but no one will deny her power. In the nineteenth century, when the seaside spa park was established, shrubs and trees were planted in peat lumps, thanks to which they absorbed more easily in the white sand. However, the real fame of the city was brought not by mud, but by salt. Already in the distant past, it was shipped by sea and land. Thanks to her, Kołobrzeg became brick early, which was equal to great wealth. Today, the city no longer produces salt, but tempts with brine baths in numerous plants. On the shore of Parsęta, in the northern part of the Salt Island , there is a brine spring - a great tourist attraction, visited by the inhabitants during the pickling season. Homemade pickles can be bought not only in the store, but also on the beach, at sellers encouraging customers with slogans: "Small-salt cucumbers tighten the lower parts".
