Through Olsztyn runs Highway No. 16, the region’s main east-west route, and Highways No. 51 and 52 which run from Warsaw to the Kaliningrad District via the border crossing at Bezledy.

It reopened as a Polish theatre after World War II, in No- vember 1945, with a company drawn from pre-war Warsaw ac- tors: among them Mieczysława Ćwiklińska and Ludwik Solski. Since then it has functioned continuously under a succession of notable managers: at present Janusz Kĳowski who has run the theatre since 2004. In 2005 it won the status of national theatre. The Stefan Jaracz Theatre is noted for its annual Olsztyn Theatrical Encounters which it has put on for many years past. Every day except Mondays visitors can enjoy the theatre’s rich and varied repertoire; not just on the main stage and in the side-audito- rium but also the performances offered by the studio theatre “Mar- gines”.

After many decades of pollution the lake has been brought back to life over the past ten years by the University of Warmia and Mazu- ry, who have re-oxygenated the water and reintroduced the original plant and animal species. The lake has no bathing beaches or jetties, but makes up for this with its excellent facilities for angling and its many foot and bicycle trails.

A stroll around Lake Długie is a nice way of going on a long walk – and it can be shortened by crossing the wooden bridge which joins the two shores at the lake’s narrowest point 19 2. RIVERS The area’s surface water is an important element in making up Olsz- tyn’s varied scenery, and also has a considerable social and eco- nomic importance. The drainage pattern of the town of Olsztyn is largely made up of the Rivers Łyna and Wadąg and the Kortów- ka stream.

River Łyna The Łyna is classed as a secondary river since it constitutes a left- Members of the University -bank tributary of the River Pregoł. It is 263.7 km long, of which Scuba-Diving Club “Skorpena” 190 km is on Polish territory. prepare to plunge beneath the waters of the Łyna The Łyna’s catchment area within Poland is 5,700 square kilometres. Within the boundaries of Olsztyn the Łyna has one left-bank tributary, the Kortówka, and one right-bank, the Wadąg. The Łyna rises near the village of Łyna, 160 m above sea level on the Olsztynian Lakeland plateau. The area around the river’s source has been made a nature reserve on account of its boggy springs and its back-erosion.

The banks are steeper here and have been reinforced in many places as well as having several bridges and a regula- tory weir. – northern – extending from the edge of Olsztyn’s built-up area to the confluence with the River Wadąg, the river flows down a narrow, steep-sided, winding valley in wooded terrain.

Organised canoe trips take place along the sector of the river which flows through a ravine in the Town Forest, starting at the weir just below the Warmia Chapter’s Castle where there once stood a watermill. The trip starts in the very heart of the town and continues down the gorge among the surrounding forest until it reaches the artificial lake above the dam of the hydro-electric power station.

The 11 km route winds alongside rivers and Lake Wadąg all the way to the Janczary Riding Stables where there waits a Mazurian banquet: splendid fare and entertainment until the small hours of the morning.

River Wadąg The Wadąg is classed as a tertiary river, being a right-bank tributary of the Łyna. 68 km long, its catchment area is 1194.6 square kilometres. The river’s upper reaches are known as the Dymarski Canal and the River Dymer. From Lake Dadaj to Lake Pisz it is called the River Da- daj, and from Lake Pisz to Lake Wadąg the River Pisa.

HIKING TRAILS IN OLSZTYN AND ITS VICINITY Green: Maria Zientara-Malewska Trail The trail was inaugurated on the 100th anniversary of the birth of the Warmian poet and Polish-language activist Maria Zientara-Malewska. It follows the path of the journeys which she used to make when she was young from her native village to the home of her grandparents in Likusy. Route: Brąswałd – Lake Kraśnik – village and lake of Redykajny – Lake Tyrsko – Likusy (suburb of Olsztyn). Total length 10 km.

The barrage on the Łyna at Black: Alojzy Śliwa Trail Brąswałd This picturesque trail allows walkers to become acquainted with the attractive outskirts of Olsztyn: the Town Forest, Gutkowo and the shores of Lake Ukiel. It is named after a Warmian national activist, folk-poet and sketch-writer. Route: Upper Gate – Town Forest – nature reserve “Redykajny” – Lake Tyrsko – Gutkowo – Łupstych – shores of Lake Ukiel – Dajtki (hotel “No- votel”). Total length 19 km.

Route: Jakubowo – Summer Stadium – banks of the River Łyna – Lake Brąswałd Długie – ul. Bałtycka. Total length 4 km. 27 2. CYCLE TRAILS An alternative to an excursion outside the town on foot is to follow one of the cycle trails which wind their way among the many attractions on the outskirts of Olsztyn – Warmian wayside chapels, natural monuments, reserves containing all the cultural treasures of the region. But before we pedal out of town let us take a look at the cycle trails within its boundaries. In Olsztyn cycle tracks form a separate part of the pavement, marked off by a painted strip or by a line of different-coloured paving blocks. You need to keep an eye open for signs like this... Cycle Trails: 1. along ul. Bałtycka – Length: 2.8 km The trail runs along the left-side pavement of the road as far as Lake Krzywe. 2. along al. Wojska Polskiego – Length: 2.6 km Begins at the road sign beyond the CEiIK Cultural Centre bus terminus and then intersects with a granite-paved roadway. The road to the left leads to the hydro-electric power station on the Łyna and the intersection of a number of hiking trails while that to the right crosses the main road, then runs alongside the River Wadąg to the Sanatorium (Yellow hiking trail). 3. along al. gen. Władysława Sikorskiego – Length: 3.1 km The cycle path along ulica Begins at the intersection with ul. W. Pstrowskiego. Sikorskiego 4. along ul. Synów Pułku – Length: 1.7 km Runs between the intersections with ul. W. Pstrowskiego and al. gen. Władysława Sikorskiego. 5. along al. Obrońców Tobruku – Length: 1.8 km On Lake Długie Runs between the intersections with al. gen. Władysława Sikorskiego and al. Warszawska/ul. Armii Krajowej.

Time to get out of doors! Olsztyn’s forests and the surrounding lakes are wonderfully suited to cycle trips. In this guide we concentrate on the nearer ones which can be covered in a single day’s outing

Cycling Trail I (Length: 8 km) Olsztyn (Jakubowo suburb) – Łyna hydro-electric station – bridge over the Łyna – ul. Bałtycka. The trail runs through the Town Forest, along the River Łyna and beside Lake Długie. The trail begins at the CEiIK Cultural Centre at the far end of ul. Woj- 28 ska Polskiego. We ride along the cycle track on the left-hand side of the main road from Olsztyn to Dobre Miasto (please note that cycling on the road itself is forbidden as far as the bridge over the Łyna). Alongside the road on the left just beyond the Cultural Centre is a cemetery of some 800 German soldiers from the First World War. It was opened in 1915 and restored in 1992. Further on we pass a forest parking and picnic site with a gazebo and benches. The trail then intersects with a granite-paved roadway. To the left this leads down to a bridge across the River Wadąg. Beyond this is the conﬂuence of the Wadąg and the Łyna, which forms a sizeable artiﬁcial lake above the power-station dam. The high banks hereabouts are covered with spruce and pine. 200 m beyond the bridge is the Łyna hydro-electric power station. We return to the bridge and climb up a steep bank. Le- gend has it that a castle once stood here, but sank into a hole in the ground. We then follow the red trail through tall forest along the picturesque banks of the Łyna – and if we are quiet we may see a wo- odpecker or a red squirrel. When we reach a wide road we turn left, You can always take a break and in front of us is a bridge over the Łyna. From here the Blue trail from pedalling to rest a while, takes us back to Jakubowo (CEiIK) from where we started. Beyond the and perhaps eat a few berries... bridge we have the choice of three different trails: – to the left, the Red trail leading to the Upper Gate – 3 km – straight ahead, the road leading to ul. Bałtycka – 2.2 km – to the right, the Blue trail leading to Lake Długie and ul. Bałtyc- ka – about 2.8 km If we go straight ahead the trail leads us along a gravel trackway which turns into a concrete-block road further along. Lake Długie lies to the right. At the crossroads we are at the townward end of the lake with ul. Bałtycka and the bus stop for routes 1, 6, 11 and 26 in front of us. On the left is the barracks in which the composer Feliks Nowowiejski – the composer of the patriotic song “Rota” and the opera “The Legend of the Baltic Sea” – did his military service, and ahead is the railway viaduct and Olsztyn Zachodni station.

At the cros- – folk-poet, writer, activist in sroads the right-hand route leads to the bridge over the Łyna (a short- the 1920 Olsztyn plebiscite, cut to the Olsztyn-Dobre Miasto road), but we take the left-hand route editor of “Słowa na Warmii i Mazurach”, first post-1945 along which the concrete-block road runs up a gentle hill.

He is can see the waters of the lake on our left we need to keep a look out buried in the cemetery on the for the first waymark of the Black trail, which is painted on a tree whe- edge of Gutkowo village. re the road intersects with a forest trackway. Here we turn left, and after about 50 metres a signboard informs us that we are on the edge of the Redykajny nature reserve (to the right of the road). We continue along the edge of the nature reserve, then turn right at a boggy pond to the left of the roadway. If we stop to inspect this we can see the process by which lakes gradually fill up with vege- tation to become bogs, providing habitats for entirely new species of plants, bushes and trees. We pass large, gnarled pine trees, then emerge from the forest onto ul. Narcyzowej with the village of Re- dykajny in front of us. We are now in the middle of a development of detached houses. We reach ul. kard. St. Hozjusza, and in front of us is the Warmian Theological Seminary the Hosianium, which is now also a department of the University of Warmia and Mazu- ry. Here we turn left and travel along the road for about 1 km. Be- fore the railway level crossing we turn right along ul. Żbicza, where there are waymarks for the Black and the Green trails. The road changes from tarmac to sand, and we start to climb up another hill while admiring Lake Krzywe on the left hand side of the road. The Sometimes you have to get off and push, where there are downhill slope on the other side of the hill is steep. cobbles or where the road Lake Tyrsko was until recently a nature reserve for water plants. We goes uphill 30 ride along the road beside the lake, with an agrotourism farm on the right where you can go horse-riding. Alongside is an unfinished hotel complex, and further up the hill is the bridge over the railway line which we passed at the beginning of our excursion. At this point a beautiful view of Gutkowo village with Olsztyn beyond it opens out in front of us. We cross the bridge and ride down into Gutkowo (now a suburb of Olsztyn) where the main road is in front of us: the right hand up towards Gutkowo village and the left leading down to Olsz- tyn. The road climbs steeply uphill among the buildings, and at the top of the hill is a historic church which is well worth visiting. Avo- iding riding on the carriageway itself we take the road on the left past the wayside chapel, past an old house constructed from logs on the left-hand side which is well worth looking at. Further down still is the village cemetery where the local writer Alojzy Śliwa is buried. The road from Gutkowo leads over the ridge of a post-glacial mora- ine. In the distance on the left we see the buildings of Olsztyn and the waters of Lake Krzywe. At the bottom of the hill is the former fi- shing village of Łupstych, some of which dates from the end of the 19th century. In the centre of the village is a bus stop, at which we turn left onto a field trackway leading past old wooden houses, then uphill amid fields and meadows. On the left there extends Lake Krzywe, and on the edge of the forest there is a picnic field on the edge of the lake with a place for lighting campfires. We can either take a rest here or travel further along the Black trail, which turns sharply to the left here. We continue straight ahead though, amid tall trees, until we rejoin the trail a bit further along where the forest A well-earned rest, though not ends and we emerge onto wide meadows. To the left is the lake the end of the outing with the bathing beach, jetty and boathouses of a holiday centre. Riding straight ahead, on a sandy trackway leading uphill, we come onto the road leading past the airfield to the village of Dajtki. Abo- ut 1 km further on is the Olsztyn-Ostróda main road. The Black trail continues here alongside a barbed-wire fence. On the right is the motor-cross track, then a sharp-angled junction, then the road continues along the edge of the Zatoka Miła Bay on Lake Krzywe. The forest ends here, and the field trackway takes us to an intersection where we turn right onto the main road, then cross it to ride on the pavement on the 31 left-hand side as far as the Novotel Hotel where the trail ends. From INTERESTING FACTS here we can travel on to the town centre and visit the Old Town. The first aeroplane landed at Dajtki airfield on 18 June Cycle trail III (Length: 18 km) 1913.
