The bridges in Stańczyki, often called the "Aqueducts of the Romincka Forest," are among the highest railway bridges in Poland – 180 meters long and reaching a height of 36.5 meters. Built between 1912 and 1918 in a style reminiscent of Roman aqueducts, they were intended to be part of a major railway line, but the line operated only as a local route until 1945. Today, the tracks no longer exist, and the impressive structures have become a tourist attraction and a bungee jumping site. Situated on the Błędzianka River and surrounded by picturesque scenery, they are a destination for bicycle tours and a good place to rest. Admission to the bridges is charged, but the view and history of the site are definitely worth a visit.

The observation tower in Stańczyki is an interesting point on the Green Velo Eastern Cycling Trail. The wooden and steel structure is 20 meters high, and from the platform at a height of 15 meters you can admire the railway bridges in Stańczyki, the Błędzianka Valley and nearby lakes. The tower is accessible all year round and is located right next to an asphalt road, so you can easily get there by bike.

The tower is right on the road to the railway viaducts in Stańczyki. The tower offers a beautiful view of the area. From here you can see the bridges (viaducts) in Stańczyki and the lakes Dobellus Duży and Dobellus Mały.

Visiting the bridges, or as some prefer viaducts, is subject to a fee. Price list 2024: standard ticket 10 PLN, concession 7 PLN. Parking at the bridges is free. If someone decides to go down, they do not have to go back down the same stairs. After crossing a small bridge over the stream, we will reach the stairs on the other side of the bridges and we can go up them, and by the way there is a small terrace from which there is a nice view of the bridges.

Some of the highest bridges in Poland are located in Stańczyki. They are impressive monuments, monuments of construction technology. They were designed over the Błędzianka River, the valley of which in Stańczyki reaches a depth of 65 m in places. Years ago, the Northern Bridges, also known as the Romincka Forest Bridges, were a section of the Gołdap - Żytkiejmy railway line, providing a unique viewing terrace for travelers (it is also worth visiting Piękna Góra in Gołdap - a viewing point on the Romincka Forest). Their form resembles the Roman aqueducts built in ancient times, which is why they are popularly referred to as the Romincka Forest Aqueducts. They were probably designed in 1905 by Italian architects. The two five-span bridges made of reinforced concrete are 200 m long and 5.7 m wide (each). The radii of the arches are 15 m, and the distance between the pillars is 30 m. From the level of the Błędzianka River to the top of the arch, we have 31.5 m. Preparations for the construction of the bridges began in 1910. In the years 1912-1914, the northern structure was built, and in the years 1923-1926, the southern bridge was built. https://atrakcje.mazury.pl/mosty-stanczyki/ Price list 2024: standard ticket PLN 10, concession PLN 7.
