Ostróda, Historical urban center in Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, Poland

The city sits on the Drwęca River with Lake Drweckie at its borders, surrounded by fifteen lakes that form a water network throughout the region.

The Teutonic Order established fortifications in 1270, and the settlement received town rights in 1329, developing into a regional administrative center.

The nineteenth-century evangelical church tower, rising 105 steps high, marks the city center and provides views across the medieval urban layout.

The town pier extends 50 meters into Lake Drweckie, offering multiple restaurants and water sport equipment rental facilities for visitors.

The Elbląg Canal near Ostróda features an engineering system where boats travel on land using specialized carriages between different water levels.
