Lejdy is located on the Beisleide, two kilometers south of the Russian-Polish state border northeast of the former railway line from Preußisch Eylau (today Russian: Bagrationowsk) towards Bartenstein (today Polish: Bartoszyce), a section of the former East Prussian Southern Railway . The former district town of Bagrationovsk is nine kilometers away , the current district metropolis of Bartoszyce is ten kilometers away.
