Beautiful view of the Vistula, but first you have to climb the stairs to the very top. Worth it!!

The bridge over the Wda River in Tleń offers beautiful views of the river and the forests on its banks. There are a few picnic areas and benches on the west side, so if you need somewhere to sit, this is certainly a nice place to do so.
