If you're flying from Poznań (20km away), I recommend bringing a good level of fitness – the final climbs can be brutal, and sometimes it's just for the sake of a super-steep descent. In my opinion, it's better to stay near the untouched mountain and do some singletrack on the left.

Dziewicza Góra is the highest peak in the Zielonka Forest, located near Czerwonak. At its peak stands a 40-meter observation tower with a terrace accessed by 171 steps. From the top, a sweeping panorama of the Zielonka Forest, Poznań, and nearby towns unfolds. Admission is free, and at its foot is the Nature and Forest Education Center with a fire pit, making it a great place to rest en route.

The bridge is badly damaged and I do not recommend riding over it. Decks should go sideways, the (now full of holes) fence net doesn't help to avoid getting your wheel stuck between the decks. If you want to walk over it then it's fine. The stream is small enough you can just ride through it anyways.
