Zalec [ˈzalɛt͡s] (German: Salza) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Mrągowo, within Mrągowo County, Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, in northern Poland.[1] It lies approximately 9 kilometres (6 mi) north-east of Mrągowo and 62 km (39 mi) east of the regional capital Olsztyn.

Before 1945 the area was part of Germany (East Prussia). Following World War II the native German populace was expelled and replaced by Poles.

Public beer fountain

Zalec will build a public beer fountain. The €350,000 fountain will be the first of its kind in Europe and is billing it as a way to lure tourists from around the world.

With plans to open the fountain in a park, thirsty visitors will be able to sample brews that contain local hops at a cost of €6 (£4.70 or $6.80) for three 30cl servings in a commemorative mug.[2]
