While the river isn't particularly attractive for cycling, it is a popular attraction for kayaking enthusiasts. Near Ełk, I recommend kayaking along the Połom-Straduny, Straduny-Ełk, or Ełk-Nowa Wieś Ełcka-Bogusze sections.

"Mary's Garden" is a unique place where on a plot of land located only 3 km from the borders of the city of Ełk, there is a beautiful area full of chapels with images of the Mother of God from all over the world. Each chapel has its own unique history and is funded by donors.
