The first stop on the "Jelenia Wyspa" nature trail. There is an information board here (one of ten on the entire trail) about the Stążka River. It turns out that it is one of the cleanest rivers in the Tuchola Forest.

The bridge over the Wda River in Tleń offers beautiful views of the river and the forests on its banks. There are a few picnic areas and benches on the west side, so if you need somewhere to sit, this is certainly a nice place to do so.

In Koronowo, located near Bydgoszcz, there is a unique technical monument. The unique, picturesque narrow-gauge railway bridge is the tallest structure of this type in Europe. The crossing is 120 m long and rises 18 meters above the Brda River. The steel, openwork structure is supported on brick abutments. The bridge offers a wonderful view of the Brda valley and the lazily flowing river. The banks here are densely covered with trees, which gives the area a particularly picturesque, timeless character. It is easy to imagine that the year is 1895 - the first narrow-gauge railway passed over the bridge, carrying its passengers from Bydgoszcz to Koronowo. The route, approximately 25 km long, was very popular from the very beginning. Launched in May, in June it was carrying up to 3,500 passengers on holidays. The inhabitants of Bydgoszcz used it to travel to nearby holiday towns - Opławiec and Smukała. These two popular pre-war health resorts offered many attractions to vacationers - the opportunity to kayak, swim in the Brda River, take a walk in the vast Smukala park, established next to a sanatorium for tuberculosis patients operating here since 1904. In the summer, a special wagon was attached to the train to transport kayaks. At the steep ascent to Smukała, two wagons were detached, and the locomotive - after pulling in the rest - returned for them. Passenger traffic on the Bydgoszcz - Koronowo route was suspended on October 1, 1969, and freight traffic - in 1992. Since then, the bridge has served as a footbridge for the residents of Okol and Stopka, shortening the route for pedestrians and cyclists to Koronowo. In 2011, the facility was closed - after winter, a landslide appeared on the railway embankment right next to one of the bridge abutments, threatening the safety of those using the historic crossing. The Provincial Office for the Protection of Monuments ordered PKP to secure the facility. The railways and the commune plan to renovate the unique technical monument and reopen it for pedestrian use. Despite the ban on entry to the bridge itself, it is worth visiting this picturesque corner. The crossing looks particularly impressive when viewed from the side or from the river level - when we go lower, we can admire it in all its glory. source: http://www.aktywnawies.pl/most-kolejki-waskotorowej-w-koronowie,at88,l1.html
