Masurian Lake District – New7Wonders of Nature – SMS
Masuria — The Wonder Of Nature The world-famous competition attempting to create a list of 7 natural wonders has been organized by the Swiss-based New7Wonders Foundation, which was establishedby the Swiss traveller Bernard Weber in 2001. Until the end of 2008 the Internet users all over the world voted for over 400 candidates representing 224 countries. Only 261 places from 222 countries were admitted to the next stage of the contest, among them the Great Masurian Lakes. After the half a year-long campaign it turned out that the Masurian Lakes were a leader in their category (“post-glacial landscapes and formations”). Next, the region was put on the list of Top 77 nominees eligible for consideration by the Panel of Experts. Finally, on 21 July 2009 the 28 official Finalist Candidates were revealed, among them the Masurian Lakes. Thus Masuria has been considered one of the 28 most beautiful places in the world and one of the 5 most beautiful places in Europe. The voting will continue until mid-2011. You can support the region by voting on the website www.MazuryCudNatury.org
