There are numerous reasons why you should visit Warmia and Masuria at any time of the year. Although tourists come here mainly in summer to relax by the lakes, there are also various attractions that will encourage you to book a winter stay in the region.
Masuria is mainly associated with sailing. When the lakes are frozen, ice skaitng enthusiasts can go ice sailing, instead. However, it is a sport that requires a lot of skills.
