Wellbeing at Warmia and Masuria region – how to take care of your health in a natural way?
As the pace of life is getting faster and faster and pandemia is still not over, we more frequently look for places where we can not only rest, but also take care of our health. Warmia and Masuria is a region that offers many opportunities to do so, regardless of the season of the year.
The vast area is not very densely populated and only its most popular places are visited by as numerous crowds of tourists as the famous seaside resorts. This alone makes it possible to relax here, enjoying the silence, breathing clean air and taking advantage of the richness of nature, which has a beneficial effect on our health.
Clean lakes give the possibility of bathing and practicing water sports, and in winter – ice swimming – which is so fashionable nowadays – has a positive effect on our health and immune system. After a cold bath, you may visit one of the numerous saunas operating in the region or a traditional banya. Regardless of your choice, you will feel amazing. An interesting attraction is a sauna floating on the lake. You will find it near Giżycko. You can use the traditional eastern wood-fired dry sauna, the so-called Russian banya in the Łękuk farm.
If water is not your element, you can always go on a Nordic walking tour or go jogging along forest paths. The multitude of cycling routes gives a wide range of possibilities for enthusiasts of cardio training on two wheels. Both bicycle families with small children and experienced cyclists looking for off-road challenges will find something for themselves here. And when you take a break from cycling, you should use some forest therapy, which relaxes, reduces stress and strengthens immunity.
Our daily diet is also largely responsible for our health. Being in Warmia and Masuria, you can taste dishes prepared from fresh, local ingredients. There are many restaurants offering regional dishes, organic farmers or manufactories that produce honey, oil, different kinds of cheese and various preserves based on the gifts of nature, which you can eat on the spot or take home with you.
