The itinerary
at a glance

For your 8-day round trip in the Gizycko area

Individual arrival at Masuria - by car directly to your accommodation or by train or plane to Warsaw. We recommend regular bus service from Warsaw to Giżycko. For those travelling by car, we provide guarded parking (payable on-site). In the afternoon bicycles and information materials will be handed over. 

Today you will visit Sztynort, the former estate of the famous von Lehndorff family. After sightseeing and a short rest by the water, you will set off along the picturesque route along Lake Labap towards the Wolf’s Lair - Hitler's former headquarters. It is worth visiting and then continuing your journey towards Kętrzyn. 

The cycling tour leads to Reszel, where you can visit the castle of the bishops of Warmia and admire the beautiful panorama of the town from the church or castle tower. The next destination is Święta Lipka with the most famous church in Masuria. We recommend visiting the Jesuit church and especially listening to the organ concert, during which you can admire the moving figures on the organ prospectus. You can also buy souvenirs on-site. After the tour, the route continues towards Mrągowo, where another hotel awaits.

In the morning, you set off on a cycling tour towards Sorkwity, where you can see the palace from the outside. Then the route leads south through the Masurian Landscape Park. Through forest paths, you will reach the picturesque village of Krutyń, where you will spend the next two days. 

Today you canoe down the most beautiful section of the Krutynia River, between the villages of Krutyń and Ukta. The river is shallow and the current is calm, so even beginners will manage without any problems. The picturesque Masurian landscape of the area and rich fauna leave an unforgettable impression on tourists. Return to Krutynia by bus. In the afternoon, we recommend a walk to the village of Galkowo, where you can admire the beautiful architecture of a wooden hunting palace. 

This day will provide many experiences. To start with, we will visit the Old Believers' monastery in Wojnowo. Then the route leads along picturesque forest paths through the Pisz Forest up to Wierzba. There, using a small ferry, you will cross Lake Beldany and continue cycling towards Mikolajki. In Mikolajki you will visit an Evangelical church and have the opportunity to do some shopping.

The last day of the itinerary is filled with a ship cruise, which is sure to be the highlight of the day and a great opportunity to take some more photos of the picturesque Mazurian landscapes. In Giżycko, we recommend a visit to the Evangelical Church, Boyen Fortress, swing bridge and water tower.

Your travel documents usually include general travel information, a hotel list, a road book and/or detailed maps as well as a textual description of the route; you will also get luggage tags and possibly also vouchers and/or information material on the various sightseeing attractions. The exact contents of the information package depend on the booked trip and its included services.

The documents will be sent to you approx. two to three weeks before the start of your tour. Depending on the trip, you may receive them partly in digital form and partly by post – or you will receive the hotel list and general travel information in advance by e-mail, and the remaining documents along with the maps on site at your starting hotel.

Please note that the travel documents are issued exclusively for PEDALO guests and are therefore not available without a booking.

The transport of your luggage from hotel to hotel is included as part of the basic service package for all staged tours and round trips in the PEDALO programme. You simply leave your luggage out for our courier in the morning before you set off on your cycling stage. When you arrive at your next accommodation in the late afternoon or early evening, it will be there waiting for you.

Just in case, we recommend always packing a change of clothes in your saddle bag, especially for short stages which you may cover more quickly than the luggage driver.

Depending on how the logistics are organised on site, there may be restrictions on the maximum weight and/or number of pieces of luggage. You will receive more detailed information on this with the travel documents well before the start of your trip.

Travel insurance is not included in our prices. You can decide whether to get a quote elsewhere or simply book your travel insurance online at pedalo.com/en/service/travel-insurance. In any case, we recommend that you take out travel cancellation insurance!

Please note that for last-minute bookings (less than 30 days before the start of the trip), insurance cover can only be taken out within 3 days of booking.
