Tips from the Community
The Dohna Castle in Mohrungen, today known as the Johann Gottfried Herder Museum, is more than just an old castle - it is a place where history comes to life. The simple facades of the building belie the treasures hidden inside. The castle, which was originally built in the 16th century as the residence of the noble von Dohna family, shines in its 18th century baroque style after numerous renovations and reconstructions. The extensive garden with the old sundial, which conveys a feeling of timelessness, is particularly impressive. A visit is not only worthwhile for those interested in history. The rooms, which have been restored down to the last detail, offer a glimpse into different eras - from Baroque to Art Nouveau. Paintings and antique furniture tell of the former residents and their time, while portraits of historical figures hang on the walls in the ballroom. It is a place that makes you feel how past and present merge with each other at every step. The location in the middle of Warmia-Masuria and the proximity to the historic town center of Morąg make the castle an ideal destination for a hiking break. It is a wonderful place to linger before exploring the surrounding hiking trails or simply letting your gaze wander over the old walls into the distance.

Hikers will quickly feel at home on the beach at Kretowiny, which is part of the "Camping No. 247" campsite. After an extensive tour through the surrounding forests, this site directly on Lake Narie offers the perfect opportunity to take a break and enjoy the tranquility of the water. The well-maintained campsite ensures that nothing is missing here: from well-equipped sanitary facilities to boat and pedal boat rental to leisure options such as volleyball courts and a sauna. You can see that the site is primarily aimed at families and camping holidaymakers, which also ensures a lively atmosphere in high season. But hikers looking for a quieter moment will certainly find a quiet corner along the promenade. The wooden walkways that lead out into the lake are ideal for letting your gaze wander and watching the play of colors in the water. The paths around the lake are easy to walk and offer varied insights into the diverse landscape of the Masurian Lake District.

Beautiful panorama of Morąg. It is worth leaving the road onto a gravel road to the waterfowl sanctuary.

Cannons in front of the town hall in Morąg, cast in 1864 in Liège, Belgium. They were among many cannons used by the French army during the war with Prussia that broke out in 1870. However, the guns were captured by the enemy. The commanders of the victorious Prussian army decided to use excess weapons as monuments. One of the cities where the guns were delivered was Morąg.
