Ogonki is a village where aficionados of active breaks will feel in their element. Not only can you sail, undoubtedly the most popular sport in Masuria, but also canoe, row a boat, fish, cycle or ride a horse. The clean air and rich wildlife attract the kind of people who want to hide away their busy everyday lives. The extensive wooded area of the Borecka forest lies only about 20 km to the east.

There are also fascinating historical sights in the neighbourhood. Some of them remind us of the times of the Teutonic Order (a castle in Wegorzewo), while some are monuments to the Prussian period, like Gizycko’s star-shaped Boyen fortress. Several unusual places date from World War II – including Himmler’s bunker in nearby Pozezdrze (part of the fort system built to defend Hitler’s headquarters in Gierloz) and other bunkers in Ogonki.
