Olsztyn

Large open-air museum with rural architecture from Warmia, Masuria, Powiśle and Lithuania Minor. Allow at least 1½–2 hours, more during seasonal events.

Small town useful for a rail day trip, especially for the open-air museum, market-square area and food stops. A good bad-weather alternative to lake activities.

Lake-resort village and forest area. Good for a beach day, woodland walk, cycling, kayaking, accommodation outside Ostróda or a trip combined with a cruise through lakes and locks.

Rural area near the Szeląg lake system. Useful for agritourism, cycling and quieter accommodation outside the town.

Another useful bathing area in Ostróda, away from the main Lake Drwęckie promenade. Good for a short beach trip when the central waterfront is crowded.

Historic water tower on Drwęcka Street.
