The Land of a Thousand Lakes

by evaanna - last update: Jul 7, 2009

Mazury is a picturesque region in the north-east of Poland. Its turbulent history, in the course of which it changed hands, loyalties and populations a number of times, is too complicated and full of controversy to delve into here.
Popularly called the Land of a Thousand Lakes, Mazury more than deserves this name. Dotted with thousands of postglacial lakes amidst beautiful undulating countryside and forest, it attracts tourists from all over Poland and abroad.

Cons:"Touristy and noisy in summer, but not as crowded as the Polish seaside, and you can find many secluded places"
In A Nutshell:"A traveller's haven"

 I did not know about this lake region, thanks it's a great tour. Those Crepes with blueberries and cream simply made me hungry.

 Beautifully decribed and even more gorgeously illustrated. I was just getting to like autumn, but those sunsoaked photos along the riverbank make me long for summer. An excellent page !

 Totally awesome page Ewa. Loved the pic of the Swans on the Krutynia & reflection of the clouds in the water on Lake Tejsowo. Saint John's Night Festival - walks along Jeglinski Canal - wonderful Polish Food. Well done!!
