St. Nicholas Church is one of the tallest religious buildings in all of Poland. Its tower is 97 meters high. There's also a viewing platform at the top offering a fabulous view of the city. The climb is well worth it!

The Drużno Lake Reserve is a unique place on the bike trail near Elbląg, ideal for nature lovers. The lake is shallow and overgrown with reeds, and the reserve primarily protects water birds - you can see herons, cormorants and white-tailed eagles here. It is best to go there in late spring or summer, when there are the most birds. The routes around the lake lead partly along dirt roads, so it is worth taking a trekking bike and checking the forecast, because it gets muddy after rain. An interesting addition to the trip could be a cruise on the Elbląg Canal, which starts nearby.

The history of Marianka has been officially recorded since 1377, when King Louis I the Great stopped here. It was he who laid the cornerstone for the church, which he entrusted to the spiritual care of the Pauline Order.
