As part of the majestic Masurian Lake District, Lake Kisajno is a centerpiece of the vast Mamry lake system. This popular destination has been a favorite among water sports enthusiasts for years, but it also holds a special place in cinematic history as the setting for Roman Polanski’s acclaimed “Knife in the Water”. What other adventures await visitors to Lake Kisajno?”
Kisajno lies in the Masurian Lake District and, together with five other lakes (Mamry Północne, or Mamry proper, Kirsajty, Dargin, Święcajty, Dobskie), forms an entire complex known as Mamry. Kisajno is 8.5 km long and 3 km wide, and at its deepest point, it measures approximately 25 meters. In the south, through the Piękna Góra canal, Kisajno connects to Lake Tajty. In the southeastern part, in the small bay of Tracz, there is an entrance to the Łuczański Canal, which leads directly to Lake Niegocin.
Lake Kisajno – Tourist Attractions
Kisajno is the most intensively used lake in terms of tourism and recreation in the northern part of the Great Masurian Lakes. The lake is of the bream type and is a paradise for anglers, with fish such as bream, roach, pike, and perch. Kisajno also offers the opportunity for a wonderful water adventure. A busy waterway runs through Kisajno during the summer season between Giżycko and Sztynort or Węgorzewo. The second, less explored route is the so-called Swan Trail. It is characterized by fewer crowds, charming coves, places to moor, and a varied shoreline.
