Masurian Lakes from Gdansk

How long will it take to travel to the Masurian Lakes District from Gdansk? By car, and, if possible, by train? From the reading I've done, I gather that the area has plenty of tourist areas, but I would be more interested in seeking out the off-the-beaten-path spot.

I would ask Fisz about his travel website, rp.....don't know if he has answers for you, but he list lots of places in Poland that he's been and gives info on spots that are off the beaten path....:) don't remember name of his site, but I'm sure he would share it with you.

You should be able to make it in 1-2 hrs by car. The Masurian Lake District is a large area so it depends how far you want to venture in it.

The Kaszubian Lake District is about 1-1.5 hrs drive from Gdansk in the opposite direction and is also worth seeing.
