Three lakes in a single glance and yachts sailing under the bridge. Approx. 21 km, on the way to Sztynort.
Sztynort Bridge — three lakes at once
Sztynort Bridge (Most Sztynorcki) is a road crossing on the way to Sztynort, from which you can see three lakes at once: Kirsajty, Mamry and Dargin. The Masurian Sailing Route runs under the bridge, so in season yachts pass through here. It lies about 21 km from Ostoja Dwa Jeziora, is accessible all year round and needs no ticket — it is for everyone.
An ordinary road bridge, yet one of the most beautiful viewpoints in the area. The crossing runs along a narrow isthmus, and from a single spot you can see three lakes: Kirsajty, Mamry and Dargin. Water on both sides of the road makes you feel as if you were driving across a lake.
The Masurian Sailing Route runs beneath the bridge — in season, a quarter of an hour is enough to see several yachts under full sail. It is at its most beautiful in the late afternoon, when the sun settles on the water.
It is a short stop, but it lies on the way to Sztynort — easy to combine with the Lehndorff Palace, the marina and the Memuak museum.
