A fascinating, though lesser-known, element of former Prussian railway infrastructure. This structure was located on the historic line connecting Gołdap with Żytkiejmy. The bridge was part of the so-called Third Transport Corridor of East Prussia. This line ran through the picturesque, undulating terrain of the Garbate Mazury region, bordering the Romincka Forest. Regular passenger traffic ceased here during World War II. In 1945, the retreating Red Army dismantled the tracks and carted them away as war booty, leading to the final liquidation of the line. Today, in Skajzgiry, remnants of the bridgeheads and foundations can be found, slowly disappearing into the undergrowth. The site lies on the so-called Broken Semaphore Trail, which attracts railway tourism and history enthusiasts.

Historic buildings and landscapes typical of the region, with remnants of Teutonic history and German heritage. Wooden or brick residential and farm buildings, often of simple, traditional construction, typical of Masuria.

All that remains of the original brickyard are the ruins of buildings and a distinctive, tall chimney, visible from afar. The area from which the clay was extracted was flooded and now forms a charming lake.

The bridges in Stańczyki, often called the "Aqueducts of the Romincka Forest," are among the highest railway bridges in Poland – 180 meters long and reaching a height of 36.5 meters. Built between 1912 and 1918 in a style reminiscent of Roman aqueducts, they were intended to be part of a major railway line, but the line operated only as a local route until 1945. Today, the tracks no longer exist, and the impressive structures have become a tourist attraction and a bungee jumping site. Situated on the Błędzianka River and surrounded by picturesque scenery, they are a destination for bicycle tours and a good place to rest. Admission to the bridges is charged, but the view and history of the site are definitely worth a visit.

The Botkuny railway bridges were built in the first half of the 20th century and were built in the style of Italian aqueducts. Their construction is related to the Gołdap-Żytkiejmy route. The viaducts connect the banks of the Jarka river valley. An interesting description can be found on the website: https://mazury.com.pl/atrakcje/mosty-kolejowe-botkuny/

The observation tower in Pobłędzie is a great stop on a bike trip around the Romincka Forest. The wooden and steel structure with a platform at a height of 15 meters offers views of Lake Pobłędzie and a vast panorama of the forest. The tower is located on a gravel road and on the Green Velo route. Here you will find a cyclist service area with a shelter and toilet.
