Campings Masuria

Camping Masuria – why is it worth coming here?

Camping in Masuria is a great way to spend a relaxing, yet active and full of attractions vacation. This charming region of Poland has been attracting tourists from all over the country (and not only!) for decades – primarily with its wild, still undiscovered nature and unique atmosphere. It is also a favorite place for all lovers of water sports. You certainly know that Masuria is sometimes called the Land of a Thousand Lakes. In fact, there are twice as many lakes here! Masurian reservoirs cover an area of almost 500 square kilometers – there is definitely a place to swim here. The most popular lakes are Śniardwy, Mamry, Niegocin, Bełdany, Tałty and Łuknajno.

But Masuria is not only lakes. It is also vast, centuries-old forest complexes, which are the remnants of the former primeval forest. In order to protect the most valuable natural places, eight landscape parks and over a hundred nature reserves have been created in the region. You can spend your time here walking, cycling or horseback riding. Planning a trip is facilitated by a whole network of marked walking, cycling and educational paths. With a bit of luck and patience, during these trips you will be able to observe grouse, cranes or white-tailed eagles living here.

Camping in Masuria can also be diversified by visiting charming cities and towns that delight with the architecture and unique atmosphere of this part of Poland. It is a historically and culturally rich region – historic churches, castles and palaces are testimony to its long and diverse history. The ""must see"" list certainly includes places such as the Pyramid in Rapa, the palaces in Drogosze and Sztynort, the bridges in Stańczyki resembling Roman aqueducts, the former German bunkers of Mamerki, the castle in Kętrzyn, the Boyen fortress or the monumental Wolf's Lair complex.

Camping in Masuria – what is worth seeing?

A tent site or a campsite in Masuria will also be an excellent starting point for sightseeing and smaller or larger ""sightseeing"" trips. Both large and small tourists will surely like the Museum of Folk Architecture in Olsztynek. It is a beautiful testimony to the rich culture of the region – on the area of 100 hectares there are almost 70 architectural objects from the 19th and early 20th centuries (original and reconstructed), including country cottages, homesteads, barns, windmills and stables.

How about a bit of the exotic? While spending your holidays at a campsite in Masuria, you can also see... the pyramid! The Pyramid in Rapa is a mausoleum of the Prussian Farenheid family, built at the beginning of the 19th century - because the doyen of the family was passionate about Egyptology. In Masuria you will also find Roman aqueducts. More precisely: railway bridges in Stańczyki that resemble them. They make a really spectacular impression, proudly rising above the wide valley and the Błędzianka river flowing through it.

The Palace in Sztynort is also worth seeing. When you are here, be sure to take a walk along the oldest oak alley in Masuria – the trees that make it up are almost 400 years old! On the list to visit, also include the Boyen Fortress and, of course, the Wolf's Lair, the famous complex of bunkers. Or maybe something for small and big nature lovers? Check out the deer farm in Kosewo Górne. It is a research station of the Polish Academy of Sciences, where herds of red deer, sika deer and European fallow deer live in conditions close to natural.
