Giżycko / Lötzen at the Löwentinsee in Poland

Giżycko / Lötzen am Löwentinsee in Poland-former East Prussia in Masuria around today's eastern Poland near the border with the Russian Oblast Kaliningrad (formerly Königsberg).
How is it now in the former Lötzen, once East Prussia, now called Giżycko?
During my trip by car from Poland to Lithuania, I made a short stopover in Lötzen. The Polish city with around 30,000 inhabitants is located in historic East Prussia on Lake Löwentin, around 90 kilometers northeast of the city of Allenstein (Olsztyn) and around 110 kilometers southeast of the city of Königsberg (Kaliningrad), not far from the border with the Russian exclave Kaliningrad Oblast.
The name of the city changed many times, among other things it was German Leczenburg, Lözenburg, Letzen, Lezen, Lezzen, Leczen, Lüzen, Lessen, from 1612 officially Lötzen, Polish Lec, Łoczany, Łuczany. In honor of the pastor and linguist Gustav Gisevius, the city of Lötzen was renamed Giżycko on March 4, 1946. [5] The historical names of the city can still be found in the name of the city canal, which is still known today as Kanał Łuczański or Kanał Giżycki.
On June 1, 2000, the former and current residents of Lötzen celebrated the 660th anniversary of the town. On this occasion, a partnership agreement between the district community of Lötzen and the city of Giżycko was concluded. In May 2012, celebrations for the 400th anniversary of the city elevation took place.
Today the city with its many water sports facilities is a very important tourist destination.
