Mrągowo

Today I spent another rest day to look at Mrągowo. The town is pleasantly hilly and littered with parks and beer gardens. It has an impressively long shoreline along Jezioro Czos.

Tourist information and historic town hall.

The Bismarck tower, built to honour the late Fürst, is now for sale. Call number for quotes.

Like many towns in this area, there are extensive former Prussian barracks. These ones have been nicely converted into residential housing.

In many of the towns and villages around the lake district there are boardwalks built into the lake for bathing which makes for an experience similar to outdoor swimming pools. I was unable to work out when or how people get changed though.

The electronics chain mediaexpert has come up with a very clever advertising trick of disguising their prices by resorting to a little bit of arithmetic.
