Giżycko County, Administrative district in Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, Poland
Giżycko County is an administrative region in Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship situated between two major lakes. It comprises several urban and rural municipalities linked by a landscape of waterways.
The territory received its current administrative structure in 1999 during Poland's local government reforms. This change made Giżycko the administrative center of the newly formed county.
The region preserves Masurian traditions through its villages and historical buildings. You can experience local customs and the deep connection people have with their lakes.
The region is shaped by two lakes that structure the terrain and influence movement through the area. Visitors should know that most infrastructure centers in the larger settlements.
The area is distinguished by a system of interconnected lakes that form part of the Great Masurian Lakes system. These water bodies shape not just the landscape but also define the boundaries between different municipalities.
