A must-see for visitors to Brodnica. A place to walk, relax and have fun. Lots of attractions for children. All with a beautiful view of Lake Niskie Brodno. It can be crowded in the season, there is a bar, a fish and chip shop and an ice cream parlor. Out of season there is no one. I recommend it especially after dark, when the piers are beautifully illuminated.

The Zamek Krzyżacki Castle is part of the long history of the Teutonic Order, a powerful military and religious organization that had great influence in Eastern Europe during the Middle Ages. Originally founded as a hospital order in the Holy Land, the Teutonic Order began conquering and Christianizing the pagan territories in what is now Poland and the Baltic States from the 13th century onwards, building numerous castles as administrative centers and military bases. The castle itself served as an important fortress and administrative seat in the region, especially during the conflicts between the Teutonic Order and the Kingdom of Poland-Lithuania. The famous Battle of Grunwald (1410), in which the Teutonic Knights suffered a decisive defeat against the combined Polish-Lithuanian forces, marked a turning point for the Order. Even though the castle was not abandoned afterward, the Teutonic Order gradually lost power. Over the centuries, the castle underwent numerous changes and reconstructions, especially after the secularization of the Order in the 16th century, when it served various purposes, including as a residence and later as a storage facility. Today it is a testimony to this eventful history and an important place of remembrance of the region's medieval past.

While the water features gently bubble up from the ground, you can make yourself comfortable on one of the surrounding benches. The small fountains provide a pleasant cooling effect, especially on warmer days, and conjure up a playful atmosphere. The sculpture in the center of the fountain attracts curious glances, while children frolic excitedly between the water jets. Even though it inevitably gets wet, the fun seems to be worth the small risk. A beautiful place that is ideal for a short break when exploring the city. Whether for a refreshment or just to watch the people passing by, this is a great place to enjoy the moment.

The Ostróda seafront promenade is a beautiful place that offers more than just a path along the water. The wide footpath and cycle path runs right along the shore and opens up new views of the lake, whose surface shimmers in different colors depending on the time of day. As you stroll, you can feel the fresh breeze and enjoy the hustle and bustle of people walking, cycling or simply sitting on one of the benches and enjoying the view. Just a few steps away, the old Teutonic castle towers up, telling its own story. From the masters of the Teutonic Order to Gustav Adolf of Sweden and Napoleon - many famous people have left their mark here. The castle forms an exciting contrast to the modern promenade and is worth a detour to immerse yourself a little in the history of the region. At the pier, you have the opportunity to take a boat trip across the lake district or even to the Elbląg Canal. These tours offer a relaxed opportunity to experience the surrounding nature from a different perspective. The promenade itself is a lively place that invites you to linger, be it for a break by the water or a longer walk along the lake.
