Near Stańczyki (Staatshausen), two parallel railway bridges span a wide valley, in the middle of which flows the small river Błędzianka (Blinde). The southern bridge was built from 1912 to 1914 (added in 1917), the northern one in 1918. The planning for the structure, which resembles a Roman aqueduct, dates back to 1908. During the First World War (1916), a project to build a third mainline from West Prussia arose East Prussia to Lithuania. In the spring of 1917, construction work began on railway embankments, bridges and viaducts intended for the second track. The work was not finished until the end of the war.
After the end of the war, the very ambitious project lost its meaning because the Poles and Lithuania pursued a policy of demarcation against Germany. In the 1920s it was decided to complete the railway line as a single track. The inauguration of the railway line leading from Goldap via Szittkehmen to Gumbinnen took place on October 1, 1927, but it only ran over the southern bridge.
For unknown reasons, the track was moved to the northern bridge after a few years. The number of people was relatively large because the area was a popular destination for residents of Goldap, Gumbinnen and other cities. In summer it was mainly mushroom pickers and anglers, in winter it was skiers. After 1941, the importance of the route increased even more to transport building materials for the Wolf's Lair. This was transported from the Bachanowo area to Görlitz via this route.
In 1945 the entire line was dismantled by the Soviet Union. The bridges can be visited and have been privately owned since 2004 (Wikipedia).
