The colorful stones that decorate the Ełk promenade are about 20m long and are hand-painted. The stones were painted by, among others, residents of Spain and children from Nairobi.

Very nice walking and cycling path around Lake Olecko Wielkie. There are several places for sunbathing and camping. Very few catering points. In places the path is a bit narrow, which makes passing each other difficult. Almost the entire length of the route we ride on a hardened dirt surface, there is little gravel and paving stones.

A place to relax and what more can I say, except that there is a small catering point here. The beach is sandy.

Beautiful place. Really worth a visit. The beach is ok, the pier with the jumping and observation tower at the end is also interesting but the buildings by the beach.... Masterpiece.... Like from a fairy tale. Really beautiful place. Great.

In 2024, there are also changing rooms and a lifeguard booth. There is a lot of grass on the beach besides the sand, so for sunbathing, if someone doesn't like to roll in the sand, it's just right. There is sand by the water, so children will also have a place to play. A quiet place.

A beautiful point for observing the lake and the surrounding area was created in 2020.
