The historic building of the former Dźwierzuty (Mensguth) station. Built in 1908/1909 by Königlich Preußische Eisenbahn-Verwaltung (KPEV) together with the construction of the 262 Szczytno – Biskupiec Reszelski (Ortelsburg – Bischofsburg) railway line. Unfortunately, it has not been preserved to the full extent as can be seen in the archive photo.

It's actually a pedestrian bridge. It's difficult to climb the steep ramps with a loaded bike.

Yes, there are many picturesque views along the route, created by nature. But the surface of a large number of sections of this route is poor, and sometimes terrible - completely unprepared: either sandy, or with a washboard or cat's heads (cobblestones), so that the teeth fly out, the chain falls off and the wheels become polygons. Officials designating the route should obligatorily ride it once a year on bicycles, maybe then they would realize how low quality their work is.

It's always an opportunity to stop, have a snack or hide from the rain. In the vicinity of vacant buildings. You can look around.
