Majdy: Lakeside, local history and Kraina Skrzatów
Accommodation in Majdy
Majdy combines a lakeside location with themes of local history and park design. The village lies on the southern shore of Jezioro Wulpińskie, which reaches a depth of 54.6 m. This gives you a clear geographical connection to the water. At the same time, the village’s appeal to visitors is not limited to its lakeside setting: Park Pamięci is in the centre, while Eko Park is near the lake. The two places offer different experiences during a stay.

In recent years, guesthouses and holiday homes have been built by Jezioro Wulpińskie in Majdy. When looking for a hotel, you could also consider whether a guesthouse or holiday home would better suit your preferences. The right type of accommodation depends on your own travel plans; the lakeside location and the local cultural and park-related themes can help you get a sense of Majdy as a destination.
History and regional culture in Park Pamięci
Park Pamięci is in the centre of Majdy and has eight information boards. They cover the history of Majdy and Kręsk, as well as Warmia. The anthem “O Warmio, moja miła” and texts in the Warmian dialect are also among the topics. Local history, the Warmia region and linguistic and cultural connections are brought together here. If, on a trip to Poland, you want to learn about more than just landscapes and also explore history and regional culture, the park offers a concrete starting point.
The park opened in 2018 to mark the 100th anniversary of Poland regaining its independence. This historical connection is one distinct part of its story; the information boards also cover a broader range of topics. During your visit, you can therefore keep in mind both the occasion for its opening and the information about Majdy, Kręsk and Warmia.
Eko Park and Kraina Skrzatów
Eko Park offers a different perspective. It is near the lake and has benches and paths. Kraina Skrzatów, a collection of handmade gnomes, is located in the park. The figures are placed among trees, tree stumps and stones. The character of this part of the park is shaped not only by the figures themselves, but also by how they are arranged among these different natural features.
For families with different interests, the two park themes offer a clear contrast: Park Pamięci focuses on information boards about history and regional culture, while Eko Park features handmade gnomes and their surroundings. You can decide whether, during your stay, you would rather explore historical and linguistic topics or the designed details of Eko Park. The paths and benches are also part of Eko Park’s amenities.
The annual Wiejska Wigilia
A village Christmas celebration called “Wiejska Wigilia” is held in Majdy every year. It adds a recurring local tradition to the lakeside and park themes. If you would like to include Polish customs in your travel plans, the celebration is another distinctive aspect of the village. Its annual return makes it especially relevant to travellers considering Majdy during the Christmas season.
To decide whether Majdy is right for your trip to Poland, you can first choose your focus: the lakeside setting, history and culture in the centre, or the different park areas. This helps ensure your choice of destination reflects the genuinely varied sides of Majdy.
