Mazury is primarily a land of a thousand lakes. Each of them has its own charm and character that will captivate you at first sight. One of the most photogenic is Lake Niegocin – vast, with a blue surface of water, often dotted with sailboats. In the rays of the setting sun, it can look like a fairy tale.
You also cannot miss Lake Mamry and Śniardwy – the largest lake in Poland. Here you can capture both sailing regattas and peaceful mornings when the lake’s surface resembles a mirror.
If you prefer more intimate shots, choose smaller lakes such as Tajty or Kisajno. Morning mists and reflections in the water can create true photographic masterpieces.
Mazury’s cities and towns are a treasure trove of photographic inspiration. One of the most picturesque is Giżycko – the pearl of Mazury. Shots of the Łuczański canal, the rotating bridge, or Ekomarina Port attract lovers of frames from all over the country. While walking around the town, be sure to stop by Boyen Fortress. It is a great place for photos with a historical atmosphere.
Don’t forget about Mikołajki either, where romantic photos of the waterfront and atmospheric streets rule. Ryn will delight you with its lake view and beautiful market square.

Mazury is not only water and towns, but also beautiful viewpoints. It is worth climbing the observation tower in Mikołajki or Saint Bruno’s Hill in Giżycko, from which you can see a panorama of the town and Lake Niegocin.
You will also take fantastic photos on cycling routes and hiking trails. We especially recommend the surroundings of Piska Forest or the Mazury Landscape Park. In spring and summer, you will be amazed by the lush green, and in autumn by the explosion of colors.
If you prefer wilder landscapes, visit the areas around Lake Bełdany or Lake Nidzkie. Here you will find peace, quiet, and incredible light that will help you create unique photos.
Mazury also hides architectural gems. Teutonic castles, palaces, and historic churches can be an excellent backdrop for your photographs. In Giżycko, be sure to visit the Teutonic Castle, which today is part of the luxury Hotels Bruno. This place combines history with modernity and provides a unique atmosphere for photos.
It is also worth visiting Reszel – a town with a mighty bishop’s castle and picturesque streets. In Kętrzyn, you will find the monumental St. George’s Basilica and a Teutonic castle. These places are perfect for wedding sessions or travel photos.
One cannot forget about the Wolf's Lair, the former headquarters of Hitler. This place has a heavy history, but also fascinating architecture of ruins that offer unique photographic opportunities.
Mazury is not only lakes and towns. It is also pristine nature. Walking through forest paths or strolling through meadows, you have a chance to photograph roe deer, storks, or even cranes.
In spring and summer, Mazury meadows bloom and teem with life. In autumn, forests turn into golden-red landscapes that look like taken straight from a painter’s canvas.
If you want to capture truly exceptional nature photos, visit the Łuknajno Lake Reserve, which is listed on the UNESCO list. It is a paradise for bird lovers and wildlife.
Mazury is a place that can enchant every photographer. Whether you photograph professionally or just take photos with your phone, you will find shots here that you will remember forever.
