Travel / Vacation in Great Polish Masurian Lakes area (Mazury) [37]
I plan on a trip to this region as well. It is a pilgrimage of a trip for me. My father was born in Szklarnia (Glashütte) . I am in search of family History & graves , war history etc....Szklarnia is just a little south of Mragowo..(sensburg)Oddly enough "Szklarnia" is a homosexual bar in Warsaw) so i better be careful if someone asks me where i am going !
I am curious how Polish people react to Germans or people of German Heritage that visit the area. warmly greeted? None of my family ever visited there after the war so i really don't know what to expect.
i would like to rent a place for a couple weeks and just hang out in the place where my immediate family come from.
