Olsztyn and Elbląg, previously associated mainly with tourism and the furniture industry, provide good examples.

If you are interested in relaxing in a beautiful, secluded, quiet and peaceful place, we invite you to Gostynin Lake District, Budy Lucieńskie. The farm “Pod Lipą” (Under the Linden Tree) is located directly above the large and clean Lucieńskie Lake and is over 4.5km long from west to east, which provides good winds for sailing, making it a friendly basin for sailors and windsurfers. Near to the home grows a beautiful, spreading, nearly 400-year-old linden tree – a natural monument.
