The Masurian Canal is an unfinished, impressive project that was intended to connect Mamry with Łyna and the Baltic Sea. Today, it runs through Poland and the Kaliningrad Oblast and is closed to navigation. On the Polish side, it's worth seeing the monumental locks in Leśniewo and the only operational lock, Piaski. Along the canal are embankments and former towpaths, perfect for walking or cycling.

Unfortunately, the highlight is once again somewhat unintelligible, because that's probably exactly what you can find and see all along the river. We couldn't find anything special that could qualify as a highlight.

A gigantic, impressive building. Unfortunately, we didn't find anything. No guided tour available, and no information. That may have been our fault, though, as we didn't want to linger there long. It's definitely worth a rest, a break, and a closer look.
