Elk

Built around a Teutonic Order castle established on an island in Lake Ełk, Ełk grew into the largest city of historic Masuria. The lake and the Ełk River shape its waterside setting, while a promenade follows the shore near the centre. Ełk received town rights in 1445, and the remains of the old castle on Castle Island recall its medieval beginnings. The Ełk Narrow-Gauge Railway, opened in 1913, adds another chapter to the region’s transport heritage. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of Masuria.
