Where do these amazing bridges in Masuria come from?

To find the answer to this question, we need to go back to the times before World War I, or more precisely to 1910. It was in this year that the construction of a railway route through the Romincka Forest began, a route connecting Gołdap with the town of Żytkiejmy. This line was a complement to the route from Chojnice, Królewiec and further to Vilnius. The route was used for both passenger and freight traffic.

Due to the hilly terrain, river valleys, swamps and floodplains, it was necessary to build crossings in critical places along the route. Arched structures set on pillars, secured from above with openwork railings, were chosen. The bridges in Masuria were designed by Italian architects, which is perhaps why they resemble Roman aqueducts so much. However, an interesting fact is that they are the only bridges of this type in Poland.

Brick bridges in Kiepojcie

We return to road 651 and after less than 17 kilometres, in the town of Barcie, according to the sign we head for the next bridges in Masuria, the bridges in Kiepojcie. Travelling along the Masurian gravel roads we come across a single bridge stretched over the road. This is the first bridge in Kiepojcie and a trained eye will immediately notice that it is different from the one stretched over the Jarka River. The bridges in Kiepojcie, as the only ones in Masuria, are made not only of reinforced concrete, but also of red brick. The arches of the bridges are finished with brick, which gives them a unique character.

But that's not all. The real icing on the cake are the double bridges in Kiepojcie. They cross the Bludzia River and are often called "little Stańczyki". To get to them, you have to go up the embankment of the single bridge and head east. After a few minutes, our eyes will see two impressive and 50-meter-long bridges.

Currently, you cannot enter the bridge as it is surrounded by barbed wire.
