Grauże Nowe [ˈɡrau̯ʐɛ ˈnɔvɛ] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Szypliszki, within Suwałki County, Podlaskie Voivodeship, in north-eastern Poland, close to the border with Lithuania.[1]
The towns nearest to it are Grauże Stare, Lipowo, Klonorejść, and Kaletnik. Its name probably comes from the Lithuanian word gražus, meaning 'beautiful'; 'nowe' means 'new' in Polish. The village is considered beautiful because of a scenic lake, Grauże; about 10 meters away from the lake is a resort.
