Piecki: Museum, Pond Trail and Cycle Path

• The Walentyna Dermacka z Sapiehów Regional Museum is located at ul. Zwycięstwa 48.
• Waterbirds can be observed along the “Wokół stawu w Pieckach” trail.
• 1.5 km of the walking and cycling path between Krutyń and Mrągowo runs through Piecki.

The collection at the Walentyna Dermacka z Sapiehów Regional Museum focuses on figures and figurative scenes carved from clay by Władysława Prucnal. The artist is from Medynia Głogowska. Her works are fired, polychromed, and glazed. This makes the museum a specific cultural point of interest as you explore Piecki.

The figures and scenes give the collection a clear focus: it brings together the material clay, a named artist, and her place of origin. The museum is located at ul. Zwycięstwa 48 in Piecki. If culture is a factor in choosing where to visit, you can consider this collection alongside the town’s nature and walking and cycling routes.

The “Wokół stawu w Pieckach” trail combines nature observation with information about the surrounding area. Waterbirds that can be observed there include black and common terns, black-headed and common gulls, mute swans, tufted ducks, common pochards, and grey and silver herons. The list thus ranges from terns and gulls to swans, ducks, and herons.

The trail’s facilities are also specified: there are wooden walkways and platforms, benches, viewing huts, and information boards about the area’s flora and fauna. A fire pit is located under a covered shelter. So, when weighing up your interests, the main features here are opportunities to observe waterbirds and learn about plants and animals; the fire pit is another feature of the trail.

The walking and cycling path follows the former railway line between Krutyń and Mrągowo and passes through Piecki. 1.5 km of the route runs through the town. Piecki can therefore be considered a section of a named route; this figure refers to the part of the route within the town.

The three themes offer different highlights: the museum features the ceramic works of Władysława Prucnal, the pond trail focuses on waterbirds and the surrounding area’s flora and fauna, and the walking and cycling path follows a former railway line through Piecki.
