Majdy on Lake Wulpińskie

Majdy lies on the southern shore of Lake Wulpińskie, which reaches a depth of 54.6 metres. In recent years, guesthouses and holiday homes have been built by the lake in Majdy. The location on the southern shore and the development of lakeside accommodation provide two specific points of reference for the character of Majdy. The two details answer different questions: the southern shore locates Majdy, while the depth figure describes the lake. If you are looking for a hotel, use Majdy as your destination; guesthouses and holiday homes are other types of accommodation.

History and language at Park Pamięci

Park Pamięci is located in the centre of Majdy. It opened in 2018 to mark the 100th anniversary of Poland regaining its independence. Eight information boards cover the history of Majdy and Kręsk, Warmia, the anthem “O Warmio, moja miła” and texts in the Warmian dialect. Local history, a regional connection and linguistic themes thus come together in the same park. The occasion of its opening places the site in a historical context, while the boards broaden its range of topics. The boards focus on both place names when presenting the history of Majdy and Kręsk; Warmia, the anthem and dialect texts complement this local perspective with regional and linguistic content.

Kraina Skrzatów at Eko Park

Eko Park is close to the lake and has benches and paths. It is home to Kraina Skrzatów, where handmade gnomes are arranged among trees, tree stumps and rocks. This specific arrangement is part of the attraction’s character; both the figures and their locations among the park’s various features are described. Benches and paths are among Eko Park’s other features alongside the world of figures. This gives it a different focus from Park Pamięci: here, handmade figures and park features shape the description, while there, the focus is on information boards about history, Warmia, the anthem and the dialect. As you sort through your interests, you can distinguish between a focus on the content of the boards and one on Kraina Skrzatów.

An annual event in Majdy

A village Christmas celebration (“Wiejska Wigilia”) takes place in Majdy every year. As a recurring event, it complements the parks’ place-based themes with a date in the annual calendar. If you would like to plan your trip around this celebration, check the exact event date in advance. This will help you time your trip to coincide with the event. Unlike the park themes, the Christmas celebration is tied to a recurring date; it therefore offers an additional point of reference when choosing when to travel.

The locations also distinguish the two parks’ respective focuses: Park Pamięci is in the centre of Majdy, while Eko Park is close to the lake. This contrast gives you two different points of reference for finding your way. One is associated with the village centre, the other with proximity to the lake. If location matters to your choice, you can distinguish between the two places using these points of reference.
