Smętek Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

This pedestrian and bicycle bridge is the northernmost crossing over the Łyna River within the City Forest, up to the bridge at the "Łyna" power plant in Redykajny. Several tourist routes intersect near the bridge, including the Copernicus Trail leading all the way to Frombork.

The name of the bridge comes from the devil from Kashubian traditions, who, thanks to M. Wańkowicz, is also associated with the region of Warmia and Mazury.

Route from Kojrys horse house is pretty sloppy and definitely graveled, asphalt starts just from the bridge towards Branswald. Lost my turn-left close to water utilization station, it's forest gravy road for about 700m, then haevybricks and asphalt to Redykajny bus station. All in all very nice trip, rather for 30c+ wheels than for road ones.

Mosąg Lake Dam Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The bridge over the Łyna near Brąswałd was built in the 1930s and offers probably the best view of the Mosąg Lake. The structure of the bridge also includes a dam, the purpose of which was to maintain the water level suitable for the operation of the nearby power plant in Brąswałd.

Lidzbark Warmiński–Orneta Railway Bike Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Useful cycle path financed with money from the European Union. The cycle path connects the Warmian towns of Orneta (Wormditt) - Lidzbark Warminski (Heilsberg).
The former railway line was in operation between 1905 - 1945 and connected Warmia with Mazury.
The cycle path is uniform and well signposted. The condition of the path: solid gravel, partly forest floor, sometimes slippery depending on the weather.

This late-gothic building, erected in 1352 (other sources mention the years 1466-78), is the only one of the three gates that led to the town at that time. Two other gates, Dobromiejska and Młyńska, unfortunately, have not survived to our times, the aforementioned High Gate has also survived only in a fragmentary form because it is exactly a foregate. There used to be a barbican at the foregate, which was removed in 1868, and despite the fact that the gate did not survive in its original shape, it still pretends to be the most monumental building of this type in Warmia and Masuria, representing the Gothic style. It is classified as a first-class monument for a reason.

It was built of red brick, it is four-storey, there are two semicircular towers on the sides, they are connected by the main gate body with the central part of the ground floor, i.e. the pointed passage.

The gate had various functions, incl. it was a modern bastion adapted to artillery fights at that time. This is evidenced by the year 1520, when during the siege it was a place of sharp fire exchange. It was in memory of these events that stone spheres were built into the walls in various places. In 1850, the upper part was rebuilt, and in 1868 the whole was taken over by the state authorities, including a court arrest, which functioned until the end of World War I. It is from this period that the characteristic blinds, i.e. bricked up windows, come from. It is a pity that this building, which is comparable to other objects of this type in Poland, is devoid of sightseeing. Its charms can only be admired from the outside.
