Hiking and cycling offer two concrete points of reference for a trip to Maldanin: a 30-kilometre hiking trail passes through the area, and a convenient cycle path leads from there towards Pisz. The hiking route focuses on the southern shores of Lake Śniardwy, Poland’s largest lake, as well as viewpoints, beautiful stretches of forest and natural monuments. Pisz, within the wider Piski destination, offers an additional cultural point of interest with the Muzeum Ziemi Piskiej.

Hiking the 30 km route

The 30 km hiking trail runs from Wejsuny via the Jezioro Warnołty nature reserve, Głodowo, Niedźwiedzi Róg and Lake Śniardwy to Zielony Most, Karwik, Maldanin and Pisz. Maldanin falls between Karwik and Pisz on this route. The route takes in the southern shores of Lake Śniardwy, Poland’s largest lake, and offers numerous viewpoints, beautiful stretches of forest and natural monuments. The lakeshore, forest and natural monuments give the hike a varied landscape. At 30 kilometres, it is a substantial trip in its own right; plan any other activities around it and set your own pace. Before setting out, check the current trail markings and condition.

Cycling towards Pisz

A convenient cycle path leads from Maldanin towards Pisz. The hiking route is defined by its total length and sequence of places, while the direction towards Pisz is the main point of reference for cycling. This lets you choose between the long hiking route and a bike ride for your trip. The cycle path is described as convenient; it is worth checking its current condition before setting out.

Culture in the wider Piski destination

The Muzeum Ziemi Piskiej is housed in Pisz Town Hall. Its exhibitions cover the fauna and flora of the Puszcza Piska, Polish-language literature in Masuria, and documents relating to the history of Pisz. Natural history, literature and local history offer different ways to explore the museum’s themes. The collection ranges from the natural environment of the Puszcza Piska to the history of Pisz, while literature in Masuria adds a distinct cultural dimension. The museum therefore complements the landscape themes of the hike with literature and local history.
