Masurian Lake District, Lake district in northeastern Poland

The region encompasses over 2000 interconnected lakes formed by glacial movements during the Pleistocene period, stretching across 52,000 square kilometers of rolling terrain.

Following World War II in 1945, the Potsdam Agreement established new national borders, transferring the former East Prussian territory to Polish administration.

The area maintains strong ties to its Masurian heritage through traditional fishing practices, local customs, and regional dishes centered around freshwater fish.

Visitors can access the region through Olsztyn-Mazury Airport or major rail connections from Warsaw, with numerous water routes linking different lakes for boating.

The extensive network of lakes connects through rivers and canals, creating a natural water navigation system spanning 290 kilometers from the Vistula River eastward.
