Many people have heard about the bridges in Stańczyki and just as many have seen them. However, much less has been said about the bridges in Kiepojcie. The tour is completely free. Access via a gravel road. There is a small bay on site so you can turn around.
A few hundred meters west of the viaduct there is a pair of twin railway bridges over the Bludzia River. The viaducts are very similar to the famous bridges in Stańczyki. The northern spans are made of brick and concrete, the southern bridge is unfinished. The line, originally planned as a local single-track line, was to be expanded in 1917-18 into a double-track main line connecting Chojnice through East Prussia to Vilnius.
The bridge with red brick arches was completed before the outbreak of World War I, while the twin concrete bridge was built in 1918 and due to the approaching end of World War I, the construction of the embankments leading to it was not completed in time.
On the western bank of the river, under the bridges, a road has been preserved, the embankment of which was reinforced with the roots of trees planted for this purpose and marked with stones.

The attraction is slightly off the beaten track, so there are no crowds here and we can explore the ruins in peace. Motorists can drive up the gravel road almost to the viaducts.
