LOCATION OF GLAMILA HOLIDAY VILLAGE<\/h3><\/div>

WHAT MAKES THIS PLACE UNIQUE<\/h1><\/div>

Dejguny and Ster\u0142awki have one advantage over the better-known parts of Masuria: it is still peaceful here. This is not the area around Miko\u0142ajki or the centre of Gi\u017cycko with crowds of sailboats and bars every few dozen metres. For many Glamila Guests, this quiet becomes the greatest discovery of their stay in Masuria.<\/span>..<\/p>\n<\/div>

Viewpoint in Ster\u0142awki Ma\u0142e<\/div><\/div>

One of the best views within several kilometres of Glamila. The hill, about 180 m above sea level, offers a panorama of Lakes Dejguny and Tajty at the same time.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/span><\/div>
\t\t\t\t\t\tThe old railway that divided the lake<\/div><\/div>

It is a detail easy to miss while walking along the shore. In 1868, during the construction of the East Prussian Railway, a railway embankment was built across the lake. As a result, the former single body of water split into two: Dejguny and the smaller Dejgunek.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/span><\/div>
Cycling route around the lake<\/div><\/div>

The area around Glamila is good terrain for gravel and MTB bikes. A popular loop leads through Ster\u0142awki, Kronowo, Bogacko and Grzybowo, with plenty of gravel, forest roads and water views, practically without car traffic.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/span><\/div>
\t\t\tFishing on a wild lake<\/div><\/div>

Dejguny is a vendace lake where practically every fish species found in Masuria occurs: pike, vendace, whitefish, eel and perch.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/span><\/div>
\t\t\tSky without light pollution<\/div><\/div>

The area around Dejguny has one of the lower levels of light pollution in the region. In the evening, the Milky Way is clearly visible here, much better than in most Polish cities.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/span><\/div>
\t\t\tThe mysterious island in the middle of the lake<\/div><\/div>

A small island covered with old trees in the middle of Dejguny was, according to legend, the seat of an Old Prussian priest of the Galindians, visited for prophecies. In the waters around the island, vessels and Roman coins almost two thousand years old were found.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

RICH HISTORY<\/h3><\/div>

glamila, STER\u0141AWKI \u015aREDNIE<\/h1><\/div>

Before anyone pitched the first tent here, before anyone called this place Glamila<\/b>, there was something much older: an ice sheet that retreated, water that filled what it left behind, and people who came soon after.<\/p>\n

Glamila lies in Ster\u0142awki \u015arednie, within several kilometres of places that archaeologists have studied for decades<\/b>. This is not a region without history where glamping was simply built. It is a place where history lies literally beneath the surface: in the soil, in the water and sometimes on the lake bed.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/a><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The Galindians – people from the edge of the world<\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Ca\u0142e dorzecze Wielkich Jezior Mazurskich zamieszkiwa\u0142 niegdy\u015b lud Galind\u00f3w<\/b>. Nazwa wywodzi si\u0119 od s\u0142owa oznaczaj\u0105cego \u201ekraj po\u0142o\u017cony na ko\u0144cu \u015bwiata\u201d albo \u201eludzi z pogranicza\u201d – i trudno o trafniejszy opis tej okolicy, nawet dzi\u015b. Za granic\u0105 Galindii ko\u0144czy\u0142 si\u0119 pruski kraj, a zaczyna\u0142a puszcza.<\/p>\n

Galindowie karczowali i wypalali lasy pod niewielkie poletka, uprawiali pszenic\u0119, proso i j\u0119czmie\u0144, hodowali \u015bwinie, kozy i konie. Ale to jeziora – te same, nad kt\u00f3rymi dzi\u015b stoi Glamila<\/b> – dawa\u0142y im to, co najwa\u017cniejsze: ryby w takiej obfito\u015bci, \u017ce stanowi\u0142y podstaw\u0119 codziennego po\u017cywienia. Zajmowali si\u0119 bartnictwem, wyprawiali sk\u00f3ry, polowali na dzik\u0105 zwierzyn\u0119.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Amber, silver and emperors from the Mediterranean<\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Przez ziemie Galind\u00f3w prowadzi\u0142 szlak bursztynowy<\/b> – jeden z najwa\u017cniejszych korytarzy handlowych staro\u017cytnej Europy. St\u0105d bursztyn, zbo\u017ce, futra i sk\u00f3ry w\u0119drowa\u0142y a\u017c do granic Cesarstwa Rzymskiego. \u015alady tych kontakt\u00f3w archeolodzy odnajduj\u0105 do dzi\u015b: srebrne i z\u0142ocone ozdoby, zapinki zdobione motywem krzy\u017ca, sprz\u0105czki z g\u0142ow\u0105 or\u0142a – przedmioty, kt\u00f3re przyp\u0142yn\u0119\u0142y tu z zupe\u0142nie innego \u015bwiata.<\/p>\n

Jeden z takich \u015blad\u00f3w le\u017ca\u0142 przez wieki dos\u0142ownie w wodzie. W 1971 roku rybacy z Grzybowa wy\u0142owili z jeziora Dejguny skarb rzymskich monet z okresu dynastii Antonin\u00f3w – sprzed niemal dw\u00f3ch tysi\u0119cy lat! To jest dok\u0142adnie ta sama woda, kt\u00f3r\u0105 dzi\u015b wida\u0107 z tarasu Caffe Glamila.<\/p>\n<\/div>

The island, the priest and prophecies from centuries ago<\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Najciekawsza lokalna opowie\u015b\u0107 dotyczy niewielkiej wyspy na \u015brodku jeziora Dejguny<\/b>, poro\u015bni\u0119tej starymi drzewami. Wed\u0142ug miejscowej legendy by\u0142a ona siedzib\u0105 staropruskiego kap\u0142ana Galind\u00f3w – miejscem, do kt\u00f3rego przyp\u0142ywano po wr\u00f3\u017cby i rady w wa\u017cnych sprawach.<\/p>\n

To, co odr\u00f3\u017cnia t\u0119 histori\u0119 od zwyk\u0142ej legendy, to fakt, \u017ce ma ona archeologiczne oparcie. Na dnie jeziora w okolicach wyspy znajdowano naczynia i monety rzymskie z czas\u00f3w cesarzy Antonin\u00f3w i Nerona – dok\u0142adnie tam, gdzie legenda umiejscawia miejsce kultu. Nikt nie potrafi dzi\u015b powiedzie\u0107, gdzie ko\u0144czy si\u0119 opowie\u015b\u0107, a zaczyna fakt. I chyba dobrze – niekt\u00f3re miejsca powinny zachowa\u0107 troch\u0119 tajemnicy…<\/p>\n<\/div>

Wrony, Ster\u0142awki and Bogaczewo – a land full of traces<\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Kilka kilometr\u00f3w od Glamili, w Wronach, znajdowa\u0142o si\u0119 niegdy\u015b grodzisko obronne<\/b> zwi\u0105zane z osadnictwem pruskim i wczesno\u015bredniowiecznym. W Ster\u0142awkach Wielkich i Ma\u0142ych archeolodzy odnale\u017ali kurhany<\/b> oraz \u015blady osadnictwa<\/b> z epoki br\u0105zu – dowody na to, \u017ce ludzie mieszkali tu ju\u017c ponad 3000 lat temu.<\/p>\n

Nieco dalej, w Bogaczewie, le\u017cy miejsce, kt\u00f3re da\u0142o nazw\u0119 ca\u0142ej kulturze archeologicznej – kulturze bogaczewskiej, rozwijaj\u0105cej si\u0119 na przestrzeni pierwszych pi\u0119ciu wiek\u00f3w naszej ery. To jedna z najwa\u017cniejszych kultur archeologicznych p\u00f3\u0142nocno-wschodniej Polski, a znajdowane tu ozdoby, bro\u0144 i przedmioty importowane z Cesarstwa Rzymskiego \u015bwiadcz\u0105 o tym, jak intensywnie ta ziemia uczestniczy\u0142a w handlu dalekosi\u0119\u017cnym ju\u017c dwa tysi\u0105ce lat temu.<\/p>\n<\/div>

The shadow of war over the water<\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Historia tego miejsca nie ko\u0144czy si\u0119 w staro\u017cytno\u015bci. Na p\u00f3\u0142wyspie Lisi Ogon<\/b>, nieopodal Dejgun, zachowa\u0142y si\u0119 bunkry<\/b>, kt\u00f3re wed\u0142ug historyk\u00f3w mog\u0142y pe\u0142ni\u0107 funkcj\u0119 centrum \u0142\u0105czno\u015bci obs\u0142uguj\u0105cego pobliski Wilczy Szaniec<\/b> w latach 1941\u20131944. W tamtym czasie ca\u0142a okolica by\u0142a stref\u0105 wojskow\u0105, a lokalne opowie\u015bci wspominaj\u0105 nawet o sprz\u0119cie zatopionym w wodach jeziora podczas wycofywania si\u0119 wojsk.<\/p>\n<\/div>

To samo niebo, to samo jezioro<\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Ten sam krajobraz, kt\u00f3ry przyci\u0105ga\u0142 ludzi tysi\u0105ce lat temu, dzi\u015b zaprasza go\u015bci na porann\u0105 kaw\u0119 na tarasie, popo\u0142udnie na SUP-ie i wiecz\u00f3r przy ognisku. Zmieni\u0142o si\u0119 niewiele: zamiast szlaku bursztynowego jest droga wojew\u00f3dzka, zamiast grodziska – namiot z widokiem na jezioro. Cisza, kt\u00f3r\u0105 tu s\u0142ycha\u0107, ma naprawd\u0119 d\u0142ug\u0105 histori\u0119.<\/span>.<\/p>\n<\/div>
