A wooden footbridge connecting the two shores of Lake Ostrowite at its narrowest point. This is the so-called Vietnamese Bridge. At the end of 2024, the footbridge was renovated.

This is a campsite, but if you're not pitching a tent, you should definitely find a jetty by the Drava River, because the views here are simply incredible - pure poetry. It's places like this that inspire painters! There are also public toilets here, so back to more mundane matters!

Binduga is the German word for a clearing on the banks of a river that was used to store wood. From around 1850 to the 1970s, the Drawa River was used to float timber to the local sawmill. These remains of a binduga are one of twelve in the area.

A wonderful piece along the Drava River and its bends - incredibly picturesque views of the river from above through the trees. A must see!

It is worth leaving the main path next to the lake to find this little jetty and see this magical view of the lake from here. Almost absolute silence - only waves and birds!

A truly beautiful place to admire Lake Ostrowite. There is a small jetty right next to the path along the shore. Oh, those Polish lakes are really something!

It's a little worn down and due for renovation but still fairly safe to walk on and experience being between two parts of the lake.

As of today, the bridge is passable. However, I advise caution, it requires refurbishment. Great view of the lake.
