Why this road is designated as a bike path remains a mystery to me. It's a highway without a large shoulder, and trucks roar past you at close quarters. It's better to turn north here and take the detour parallel to the river. Admittedly, the route is quite sandy, but unless you're on a racing bike, it's manageable.

"The history of the town hall dates back to the early 15th century. Bishop Jakub of Płock is said to have funded the seat of the town authorities in 1405. The Gothic tower added to the town hall fulfilled both judicial and penitentiary functions as well as defense. Initially, it reached a height of 15 m and was built on a rectangular plan. During the 15th and 16th centuries, it was gradually raised, with additional storeys built on an octagonal plan. A new town hall was also built - lower, more modern - in the Renaissance style, topped with a crested attic. The 30-meter tower at that time gained a domed spire with a lantern, and a clock was also ordered for it. During the wars in the 17th and 18th centuries, the town hall burned down several times. In 1728, it was rebuilt with funds from Bishop Andrzej Stanisław Kostka Załuski. The two-bay building surrounded the tower in a horseshoe shape from the east. The entrance was located on the north and covered with a wooden arcade. The tower roof was changed to an octagonal one, and the clock was abandoned. In this form, the town hall survived until the end of the 19th century. At that time, in addition to the city authorities, the army was quartered here, and there was a prison and even warehouses for Pułtusk merchants. At the end of the 19th century, a shelter was organized in the ruined building, and from 1880, the ground floor and the tower were put into use by the Volunteer Fire Department. After 1902, a new, smaller building was erected on the site of the former building, in the neo-Gothic style, only for the use of the fire department. The tower was deprived of its roof, replacing it with an uncovered platform. It turned out to be completely non-functional and the original roof covering of the tower top was quickly restored. Also at that time, a clock was placed on the north side, on the seventh floor." Source: https://arch.pultusk.pl/wieza-dawnego-ratusza-gotycko-renesansowa/

A bit of shade, a bit of sand, a bit of boats - all in all very nice :-)

The Chinese have their Great Wall visible from space, and the Poles have their abandoned and decaying strawberry plant - also visible from space. Such a story.... In the past, it advertised the cultivation of strawberries by the SadPol farm, and now it is dying with its last strength, abandoned alone in the field. Access due to the lack of a fence. https://www.google.com/maps/@52.5330315,21.069995,42m/data=!3m1!1e3?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MDYzMC4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D https://www.onet.pl/turystyka/szaryburekpl/ogromna-truskawka-pod-warszawa-skad-sie-tam-wziela/8lmg9p0,30bc1058

Very boring road. On one side a embankment blocking any view, on the other side a row of ugly trees. Driving in the type "on a motorway between acoustic screens".
