A very important investment realized on the navigable route in the Ruciane - Nida commune by Wody Polskie in partnership with the Great Masurian Lakes Association 2020 is the new lock - Guzianka II, which connects the lakes: Guzianka Mała and Bełdany. The main goal of this investment was the modernization of water infrastructure and the improvement of navigation along the WJM. https://www.ruciane-nida.pl/dla-turysty/zeglarstwo/sluza

Fantastic place for cycling. Watch out for pedestrians! We have a path for pedestrians and cyclists here without lane separation. The promenade is lit at night - there are lamps.

400 m from the MPR trail, it's worth leaving the route for a break

It's not worth it because there's garbage there, toilets are out of order and there's no equipment to service a bike.
