A quiet place in the forest. Perfect for a ride or a walk. Despite the hot day, it was cool and pleasant by the spring.

A great place for a barbecue or a bonfire. A walk, sitting on a blanket. It's a shame the city has neglected it so much.

It is worth walking along the riverbed itself, which is mostly dry, to see the route from the "river" point of view. You just have to watch out for the moments when garbage is deposited. I especially recommend wading through the heaps of the strip (the middle part of the route), you will feel like you are in Masuria;)

The right source of the Sztoła River. Everything above this point (to the South-East) actually exists only on the map.

Unfortunately, the amount of water did not decrease drastically, but the river practically disappeared, so the worst case scenario came true. Now it will be an interesting area for experts to research, at what time they will be able to rebuild water relations and whether they can someday return to the state before exploitation.

This is unfortunately history. The river is practically gone.

A bend of a unique river. Unfortunately, in this form, it will no longer be available in 2022. The amount of water will decrease drastically.
