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.

On a small sign on the road from Stare Juchy to Ełk, just before Woszczele, there is an inscription that this is a cemetery from the period of World War I. The necropolis is not very well maintained. After entering the forest and driving about 50 m, turn left and you will reach the cemetery.

As you can see in the pictures, the bridge is in a terrible condition. Crossing to the other side is at your own risk (there are signs earlier informing about the lack of crossing). It is possible to bypass the bridge, but you should go back and after reaching the fork in the forest roads, turn sharply left and you will reach the asphalt road. Then left towards Połom, after the bridge there is an exit onto the gravel road to Zawady Ełckie (this is a better road than the asphalt road to Gorłówka, which is a "test section for the suspension).

The village church is something special with its venerable wooden tower. The interior is rather lavish, as is typical locally. I was also impressed by the very well-kept German war memorial from World War I. By the way, across the street there is a very nice bathing area down by the lake.

Very nice bridge. It's just a pity that it is in such a tragic condition.
