Tips from the Community

Sebastian Kościuk
July 17, 2025, Wooden Bridge Over the Ełk River

The bridge is damaged, but you can cross it. Of course, at your own risk. In the summer, the riverbed is a bit muddy, with yellow sand and rocks. Access is quite good from both sides. Overall, it's an interesting place, and I recommend the crossing.

Although the section was charming, it took its toll on me. The uphill road and the surface, commonly known as "washboard," certainly don't encourage me to revisit it. I think it could be called a masochist's route for bikes without suspension on the fork and saddle. Difficulty 6/10. Enjoyment 4/10 (only because of the views).

The bridge is located over the Łuczański Canal in Giżycko and is entered in the register of immovable monuments. It was built in 1898 to provide access from Giżycko to the Boyen Fortress. It is over 20 meters long and 8 meters wide and is opened 12 times a day: 6 times for water traffic and 6 times for road traffic. The facility is worth seeing because it is the only bridge of this type in Poland and Europe. There is one span and it does not rise up, but tilts sideways by 90 degrees. It is set parallel to the canal embankment. Thanks to a special, original mechanism, the 100-ton bridge can be manually operated by one operator. The entire operation of opening the bridge takes about 5 minutes. A special certificate can be obtained from the person operating the bridge - a seal of presence on this facility. https://mazury24.eu/atrakcje-turystyczne/most-obrotowy-gizycko,376
