Where to sail in Warmia and Masuria

If you do not know where to start your sailing adventure or are looking for a new route, and you also like taking beautiful photos – we are here to help!
A city that is clearly associated with sailing is Giżycko, located in the centre of the Land of the Great Masurian Lakes. From here you can go on several interesting routes, for example towards Mikołajki or Węgorzewo. You will start from Lake Niegocin, and on the way you will be able to observe numerous species of waterfowl, such as swans. If you plan to take photos, these routes will be a good choice.

If you want interesting views, try sailing on Lake Dobskie. There you will find the Cormorant Island with a breeding colony of cormorants and gray herons. Another beautiful birds worth photographing. Remember, however, that Lake Dobskie is a quiet zone and motorboats cannot be used there. The island is also within the area of a nature reserve, so you can only land there in designated areas.

Do you dream of sailing to another mysterious island? Maybe even one that was not marked on some maps … On Lake Mamry, near Upałty Island, there is a smaller Pyramid Island. There used to be a monument (13 m high) in the shape of a pyramid. Years later, when the water level rose, the monument was blown by the waves. Upałty Island has breeding sites for rare bird species, such as the white-tailed eagle. However, you will not see them up close, because this area is also within the restrictions of a nature reserve.
Have you felt like sailing and watching beautiful birds? We wish you good photoshooting and a nice active rest!
