Small bridge avross the creek, at a barrage that at one time might have had a hydropower mill

The historic mill has meanwhile been replaced by a modern small run-of-the-river hydropower system. The old mill seemed to have served for a large factory, which later was converted to a youth hostel, that currently stand empty. An excellent natural water fountain is at the bottom of the stairs.

Even on a mountain bike the cobblestones of the road that turns here to Pilec can be rough. Try staying on the narrow gravel tracks on the sides.

Święta Lipka, although a small village in Kętrzyn County (Reszel commune), is known throughout Poland, thanks to the famous Marian Sanctuary. The Święta Lipka Basilica of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, together with the cloister and monastery, is a Baroque monument. Since 2018, it has had the status of a historical monument. The beginning of the cult of the Mother of God in Święta Lipka dates back to the early 14th century. According to legend, a prisoner sentenced by the court in Kętrzyn placed a figure of the Mother of God on a lime tree, and thanks to the prayers offered to her, he was pardoned. Since then, pilgrims have been coming to the village not only from Warmia, but also from further afield, e.g. from Warsaw, Białystok, and even Vilnius.
