Warmian-Mazurian Viovodeship in Poland ON THE WAY TO THE SEASIDE WARMIŃSKO-MAZURSKIE W D DRODZE NAD MORZE

IN MY PREVIOUS POSTS, I was describing the trip to the seaside through Mazovia region, KURPIE (small district), 

however I probably have forgotten to mention that the big part of the journey was via WARMIAN-MAZURIAN VOIVODESHIP, cause informally we say "Mazury", that is Mazurian Lake District. 

This voivodeship borders with RUSSIA and LITHUANIA.

Today I present the rest of the pictures from NIDZICA, from te old castle, where Teutonic Knights lived (KRZYŻACY in Polish); 

this region was generally called Prussia (PRUSY) in older times.

I copied the following sentence below:

1410 The Teutonic Order defeated by combined Catholic Christian Lithuanian-Polish forces at Tannenberg/Grunwald. Although the Teutonic Order continued to govern Prussia, this was the death-knell of the end of the Prussian Crusade.

cause it is the most famous ancient battle between Polish-Lithuanian forces and the knights. 

Grunwald, a place where it was happening is on on the way from Warsaw to the seaside, if anyone wants to know.

There are some other castles from those times - it is on the map, on one of the pictures from today: a castle in Kętrzyn, Olsztyn, Lidzbark Warmiński, but MALBORK is the most famous.

I was there some time ago, but I am planning to visit it again.

Maybe next summer.

So enjoy the castle in NIDZICA, by the way there is a hotel "U Komtura" if maybe someone would wish to sleep in the old castle.

Dziś uzupełnienie podróży nad morze przez Mazury, Mazowsze, Kurpie.Oczywiście należy wspomnieć, że jest to województwo Warmińsko-Mazurskie, które graniczy Z Rosją (Obwodem Kalinigradzkim) oraz z Litwą.

Co jeszcze chcę dodać, otóż na zdjęciach z dziś jest reszta z Nidzicy,a na jednym mapa z pozostałymi zamkami Krzyżaków, czyli Olsztyn, Kętrzyn, parę innych, no i, oczywiście Malbork.Malbork planuję na następne wakacje.

Teraz, miłego oglądania,

a jak ktoś chce jechać do Nidzicy może przespać się "U Komtura", czyli w hotelu na zamku, jest tam też restauracja.
