Luxurious ground. Too bad they forgot to mow the verges... the undergrowth is so thick that in places it takes up half the path.

The ferry in Wierzba near Mikołajki is a unique attraction in Masuria. A ferry crossing across Lake Bełdany not only saves time on the way to Popielno, but also an interesting way to admire the area from the water. The ferry runs regularly, every hour, and the short cruise lasts only 10 minutes. For cyclists planning trips around Masuria, a ferry crossing can be an interesting diversion and a chance to rest before continuing the ride.
