The railway water tower in Węgorzewo is an interesting technical monument from 1909, located right next to the railway station. The 38-meter-high structure houses a steel, riveted Intze tank with a capacity of 100 m³. Although it has not been used since World War II, it has been preserved in good condition and is a characteristic element of the city's landscape. Cyclists passing through Węgorzewo can easily see it - it is a short but interesting stop on the route.
