Tips

  • Remains of a steel, two-span bridge of the former Wałcz–Złotów railway line. Blown up in 1945 by retreating German troops. The western part of the bridge collapsed in 2004 and was demolished, while the rest hangs 25 m above the river level and is the best view of the structure.

  • The two-span bridge over the Gwda was built in 1914 during the construction of the Płytnica - Złotów railway line. In February 1945, retreating German troops blew up the western bridgehead. The bridge was not completely destroyed. The eastern span remained intact, while the western one slid down onto the embankment. It survived in this condition until 2004. Despite the damage, the bridge still allowed people to cross (on foot) to the other side of the river. Unfortunately, scrap metal thieves took up the damaged span, which caused it to collapse and, as a result, to be demolished. To this day, only the eastern span remains, with the sleepers cut up so that no one would think of climbing the bridge.
