To visit the cascade on Osława and see the beautiful arched reinforced concrete viaduct up close, you need to cross the barrier by the road and go about 400 m along the tracks of the closed narrow-gauge railway. Most of this section can be covered by bicycle riding on the left side of the track with caution, because it is narrow and the viaduct is in poor technical condition. The barriers are bent, rebars protrude from the structure in places and you have to be careful of your legs and bicycles. I absolutely advise against visiting at night!

You can leave your bicycles on the viaduct and go down the steep wooden stairs to the Osława riverbed and walk a bit through the forest. This will allow you to see the structure of the viaduct from the bottom and the river bed, noiselessly overcoming large boulders. In this place, in the summer, some people lie on the beach, spreading blankets on the stones, and in the event of excessive heat, you can shelter from the sun under the trees.

The Osława creates a meander around the ridge of the mountain, similarly to the San near Zwierzyń, where the fall of the river was used to build the Myczkowce hydroelectric power plant. Here in Osława there was also such an idea, but the investment did not come to fruition and the place retained its natural charm, which confirms the status of a nature reserve.
