In Elk you will find two city beaches, both of which are sandy, although in truth in high season it will probably be difficult to find even a meter of free space anyway. There is also a sizable park, several children's playgrounds and a bunch of playrooms. Elk also has an interesting museum, offering, among other things, a ride on a narrow-gauge train.
To get from or to Elk, for example, you can use a bus. Buses Sindbad leave from Elk's PKS station, which is located right next to the railroad station. Therefore, if you happen to be going to Elk by train, but then want to change to another means of transport, the change itself will not take you more than a few minutes.
