Introducing Ruciane-Nida
Ruciane-Nida (roo-chah-neh nee-dah) is the southernmost base for the Great Masurian Lakes. As the name suggests, it consists of two parts: Nida, an unremarkable collection of apartment blocks, and the tacky main lakeside resort of Ruciane, 2km northeast. The halves are linked by Al Wczasów, which runs through woods and is lined with holiday homes. About 1.5km north of Ruciane is the Śluza Guzianka, the only working lock on the Great Masurian Lakes.

The town’s biggest drawcard is its location; it’s surrounded by forest and set on the banks of two lakes, Lake Guzianka Wielka and Lake Nidzkie. There’s also lots of quality accommodation options here, making it a grand base for exploring the region. To the southeast is the Pisz Forest (Puszcza Piska), a vast area of thick woodland. There are no marked trails, but dirt tracks and paths crisscross the woods; most are OK for bikes.
