church
Roman Catholic
The vast majority of the population in the Gmina Giżycko professes the Roman Catholic Church . In the municipality there are three parish churches and two subsidiary churches , which belong to one of the two deanery districts Giżycko in the diocese of Ełk of the Roman Catholic Church in Poland :
- Deanery Giżycko - św. Krzystofa:
- Deanery Giżycko - św. Szczepana Męczennika:
Evangelical
There is no Protestant church in the parish itself and very few Protestant church members live there. The center of worship is the Evangelical Parish Church in the Giżycko town. It belongs to the Masurian Diocese of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .
traffic
Street
The municipal area is criss-crossed by a narrow network of roads, through which the individual places are connected with each other. But the supraregional connection with state and voivodship roads is also ideal:
- National road DK 59 : Coming from the south of Rozogi (Friedrichshof) not far from the voivodeship border to Mazovia , it connects the districts of Szczytno (Ortelsburg) and Mrągowo (Sensburg) with the Gmina Giżycko;
- State road DK 63 : running along the route of the former German Reichsstrasse 131 , it is an extremely important road connection in terms of transport policy: from the Polish-Russian border (a border crossing is planned) it leads through northeast Poland to the Belarusian border and connects numerous district towns and their regions;
- Provincial road DW 592 : On a length of 75 kilometers, it extends in the north of the province Masuria under connection of the west of the Gmina Giżycko located regions Bartoszyce (Bartenstein) and Kętrzyn (Rastenburg) ;
- Voivodship road DW 643 : it extends for 20 kilometers in a southerly direction, so it remains within reach in the Giżycko region as far as the municipality of Mikołajki (Nikolaiken) ;
- Voivodeship road DW 655 : Coming from the north-east and the Suwałki voivodeship , it connects to the neighboring voivodeship and to the districts of Suwałki and Olecko (Marggrabowa (Oletzko) / Treuburg) .
rail
Numerous railway lines once ran through the municipality, most of which were discontinued after 1945 due to the war. Only the former line connecting Königsberg (Prussia) with Brest has been preserved, although it is shortened and only runs on Polish territory: the Głomno – Białystok railway line , which today is only operated for freight traffic between Głomno (Glommen) and Korsze (Korschen) . Over 235 kilometers it connects important regions of the two Voivodeships of Warmia-Masuria and Podlasie . With the Sterławki Małe (Klein Stürlack) stop , the municipality has a direct connection to the railway line.
air
The connection to air traffic is only possible via Gdansk Airport , which can only be reached by road or rail after a long journey.
