When the wind sweeps gently over the green meadows and the stalks sway gently, fleecy clouds pull in the sky, then the sea is not far. Shady forests and bay-rich lakes in the midst of an idyllic hilly landscape, lovely river landscapes and historic cities, mighty crusader castles and romantic villages, that is Masuria. Look right into the heart of these regions, get to know the hospitality of the people with their traditions and their nature-loving life.
Choose our proposal and come with us on a seven-day trip to Gdansk and Masurian Lakes.
