This is the Water Gauge building. A measuring point for the Vistula river level (one of the first) was established in 1809, the visible building was constructed in the 1890s. On the turret on the Vistula side, it had a clock-type indicator, which was visible from the river and provided important information for helmsmen. Furthermore, long-term measurements allowed for predicting changes in the river's condition and facilitated planning.

Nice resting area after the castle. Can be passed unnoticed if you cycle in your thoughts. :)

The castle in Kwidzyn is an impressive Gothic stronghold from the 14th century, the former seat of the Pomesanian chapter. Its massive walls and characteristic sanitary-defense tower, connected to the castle by the longest covered porch in the world, are a symbol of medieval defensive architecture in these areas. The castle was not only a religious and administrative center, but also played an important role in the Polish-Teutonic conflicts and in the Priests' War. Rebuilt and adapted many times over the centuries, today it houses a museum and is one of the most important historical attractions in the region.

The Biała Góra Lock is an impressive monument of hydrotechnics, considered the "Water Castle" of Żuławy. It was built at the beginning of the 20th century as the first element of the Nogat cascade, the task of which was to regulate the flow of the river and protect against floods. The chamber lock and weir on the Nogat and the lock on the Liwa River regulate the flow of water to this day, and thanks to modernization, they can be used by tourist units. The modern marina at the lock was built as part of the Żuławy Loop project. Cyclists riding through Żuławy can see the mastery of hydrotechnical engineering and the picturesque landscape of the floodplains.
