The Skiertag Lake is situated on the north-eastern side of Morag, while south of the town there are marshy areas and swamps with numerous smaller lakes and lots of waterfowl. The Narie Lake is located about 5 km east of the town, and both Skiertag and Narie have first class clean water and provide great opportunities to relax. They are surrounded by small villages which play the role of small summer resorts. Water equipment, such as kayaks, windsurfing boards and boats, is available on site. Close to Morag Lake is a reserve of cormorants, while near Milakowo there are opportunities to see a beaver’s dam.

Long and turbulent is the history of the province, and so the past of Morag. It has witnessed the passing of a variety of governments, wars and historic events. Morag was the hometown of Johann Herder (1744-1803), a German philosopher and Romantic writer, and an early promoter of folklore. In Morag there is a museum devoted to Herder, presenting some memorabilia and portraits. Morag was also visited by Jozef Ignacy Kraszewski, author of many popular historical novels, as well as modern writer Zygmunt Nienacki, who died there in 1994. He was famous for a series for teenagers about Mr Samochodzik.

There are many other historical sights to explore in Morag. First deserving of attention is the Teutonic Castle, then the Baroque Dohn’s Palace, the Old Town with its reconstructed medieval Town Hall as well as a 14th-century parish church. The Dohn’s Palace houses the museum of Herder as well as a collection of fine Dutch paintings. Nearby is another essential place to visit, the Elblag-Ostroda Canal, a masterpiece of 19th-century engineering.
