Majdy by Lake Wulpińskie
Accommodation in Majdy
Majdy lies on the southern shore of Lake Wulpińskie. The lake reaches a depth of 54.6 m. The village offers several points to consider when planning your trip: its lakeside location, Park Pamięci with its history and culture of Warmia, and Eko Park with Kraina Skrzatów. If you would like to include landscapes, regional history, and an outdoor discovery in your holiday plans, Majdy offers a range of topics that you can explore individually.

A lakeside village
Majdy’s location on the southern shore of Lake Wulpińskie gives it a clear geographical identity. In recent years, guesthouses and holiday cottages have been built by the lake in Majdy. If you are looking for a holiday destination by a lake, you can take this location into account when choosing the right place to stay. At 54.6 m deep, the lake itself is a distinctive geographical feature; this figure describes the depth of the body of water, not the characteristics of any particular stretch of shore.
When looking for a holiday cottage in Majdy, your preferred type of trip and your family’s interests are important considerations. Getting to know the village primarily through its lakeside location is different from a trip focused on regional history or a special nature experience. You can weigh up these different interests by considering the specific places and traditions in Majdy.
Local history and culture at Park Pamięci
Park Pamięci is located in the centre of Majdy and has eight information boards. They cover the history of Majdy and Kręsk, Warmia, the hymn “O Warmio, moja miła,” and texts in the Warmian dialect. The subject matter therefore extends beyond local history: regional identity, music, and Warmia’s own language tradition are also included. Those interested in history and culture will find several different aspects brought together in one place.
Park Pamięci opened in 2018 to mark the 100th anniversary of Poland regaining its independence. The year and occasion form part of the park’s history. For trip planning, Park Pamięci offers a way to experience Majdy not only through its lakeside location but also through local and regional history.
Gnome figures at Eko Park
Eko Park is located close to the lake and has benches and paths. Kraina Skrzatów is inside the park. It consists of handmade gnomes placed among trees, tree stumps, and stones. This specific arrangement gives the place its own character: the figures are set within their natural surroundings rather than presented as individual information boards or objects.
Kraina Skrzatów can be a special discovery for families with children. The handmade gnomes among various natural features offer a different perspective on Majdy than the information boards at Park Pamięci. A cultural focus and a fairytale-themed place in the green surroundings thus appeal to different interests, without requiring you to follow a set itinerary during your stay.
An annual village Christmas celebration
The village Christmas celebration “Wiejska Wigilia” takes place every year in Majdy. It adds a recurring village tradition to the history presented on the boards and the lakeside sites. If you are interested in local customs, Wiejska Wigilia is another reason to get to know Majdy beyond its landscapes and parks. Together with Park Pamięci and Eko Park, it shows that the village offers a range of cultural and scenic points of interest.
