The first important tip is that the settlement is currently closed for visits. A great shame, because it's a nice attraction.

A very important investment realized on the navigable route in the Ruciane - Nida commune by Wody Polskie in partnership with the Great Masurian Lakes Association 2020 is the new lock - Guzianka II, which connects the lakes: Guzianka Mała and Bełdany. The main goal of this investment was the modernization of water infrastructure and the improvement of navigation along the WJM. https://www.ruciane-nida.pl/dla-turysty/zeglarstwo/sluza

Guzianka I was commissioned in 1900, over a hundred years ago, and is still in operation today. The chamber length is 44m, the gate width is 7.5m, and the water level difference is about 2m. The lock gates are opened by an electric drive. https://mazury.info.pl/atrakcje/guzianka/index.html

One of the most popular attractions in Ruciane - Nida is the "Guzianka I and II" lock, which is the water connection of the town of Ruciane - Nida and Lake Nidzkie with the rest of the navigable route. It is the most frequently visited place by sailors in Masuria.

A forest road leads to the tower, which is about 750 m from the main road. It turns into a dirt road through a meadow and a narrow path, all ending with a wooden footbridge. You can cycle there. There is not much space on site and the ground is marshy, so after heavy rainfall, reaching the spot might be a bit problematic.

I highly recommend visiting the castle. It's close to the center and on a bicycle trail.
