Mikołajki - the Masurian capital
20.12.2016
The Great Masurian Lake District is a paradise for lovers of lakes, beaches, beautiful nature and water sports. Watermen and adventurers have long especially liked this picturesque corner of Poland as a place for holiday trips. Of all the tourist and recreational towns in the Great Masurian Lake District, enjoy Mikołajki. If Masuria can boast of a town that could act as the capital, these are Mikołajki. They are not only the most important town in Masuria, but also their pearl. This beautiful city is spread out on a picturesque isthmus between the lakes. Today it is hard to believe that this important tourist center was a small fishing village not so long ago. Mikolajek's career as an important summer resort began quite late, only after World War I. However, development progressed quickly and today Mikołajki is not only an important holiday center, but also an important node of water routes. Water routes, which here in Mikołajki, intersect with each other, are the main advantage of this popular town among water sports enthusiasts. Thinking about them, water sports enthusiasts, a "specialist" Sailing Village was created here, which is focused on serving crews wandering their yachts on the lakes and learning about Masuria in this interesting way. This popular haven also owes its career to the local tavern, which has a sailing atmosphere.
