Wiewiórcza Ścieżka (Squirrel Path) – Olecko Wielkie Lake

Highlight • Trail

Very nice walking and cycling path around Lake Olecko Wielkie. There are several places for sunbathing and camping. Very few catering points. In places the path is a bit narrow, which makes passing each other difficult. Almost the entire length of the route we ride on a hardened dirt surface, there is little gravel and paving stones.

Wooden Bridge at the Outflow of the Lega River, Wiewiórcza Trail

Highlight • Bridge

One of the more characteristic and recognizable places at the Olecko Wielkie Lake, i.e. a wooden bridge over the mouth of the Legi River flowing from the lake. In the immediate vicinity of the bridge there are numerous breeding places for waterfowl that can be observed throughout the year.
It is also the arbitrary beginning of the Squirrel Path that leads along the shoreline of the lake. It is an excellent route for walking or cycling. The total length of the path is 12km, which with its excellent preparation and not too demanding character is an excellent option to get to know the entire lake.

Lega and the lake

Highlight • Lake

This is where the Lega River flows out of Lake Olecko Wielkie, but this is not the beginning of its course. This is also where the pedestrian and bicycle path with the charming name "Wiewiórcza szlak" begins, which runs around the aforementioned lake.

City Beach in Olecko

Highlight • Beach

A place to relax and what more can I say, except that there is a small catering point here. The beach is sandy.

War memorial

Highlight • Monument

The monument in Olecko was the second largest monument to the fallen erected in East Prussia and the largest preserved to this day. The monument in Olecko was erected as part of a larger recreational complex known before World War II as Hindenburgpark (Hindenburg Park). In addition to the monument, it included green areas, playing fields and a swimming pool. The construction of the monument was initiated in 1925 by the then Olecko district governor Bruno Wachsmann. The construction of the facility took place in the years 1926-1927. The authors of the monument design were district governor Wachsmann, Beyer and Max Rola, the works were managed by the builder Schneck. The undertaking was financed partly from a public contribution, the material for the construction of the monument was obtained from the district. The monument was ceremonially unveiled on September 11, 1927. It was dedicated to the memory of soldiers from the Olecko district who died in World War I. At the time of its unveiling, it was the largest First World War monument in East Prussia (the larger Tannenberg Monument was unveiled a few days later). After World War II, the plaque with the German inscription was removed from the monument. Currently, the monument in Olecko is the largest preserved object of this type in the province.

View of Lake Olecko Wielkie

Highlight • Viewpoint

Viewpoint on the lake Olecko Wielkie from its northern side. Very close to the platform and the point itself there are large beaver lodges which are very numerous in the area, which can also be seen by the condition of trees growing in the immediate vicinity of the shoreline.
