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

Guzianka I was commissioned in 1900, over a hundred years ago, and is still in operation today. The chamber length is 44m, the gate width is 7.5m, and the water level difference is about 2m. The lock gates are opened by an electric drive. https://mazury.info.pl/atrakcje/guzianka/index.html

One of the most popular attractions in Ruciane - Nida is the "Guzianka I and II" lock, which is the water connection of the town of Ruciane - Nida and Lake Nidzkie with the rest of the navigable route. It is the most frequently visited place by sailors in Masuria.

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

The Pisz Observation Tower, located near the marina and municipal beach on Lake Roś, offers some of the most beautiful views along the entire Pisz River. A tavern and paid restrooms are nearby.

Lake Wiartel is located right next to the village of the same name, about 7 km from Pisz, and is very popular among tourists looking for active recreation. It is a good place for a bike trip, because around the lake there are forest roads and paths of moderate difficulty, ideal for trekking bikes. There are several recreation centers and campsites by the lake, as well as water equipment rentals, so you can combine cycling with kayaking or sailing. The beaches are well-maintained, with places for swimming and piers. In the season, it is worth arriving earlier, because the area can be quite crowded.
