Giżycko Swing Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The bridge is located over the Łuczański Canal in Giżycko and is entered in the register of immovable monuments. It was built in 1898 to provide access from Giżycko to the Boyen Fortress. It is over 20 meters long and 8 meters wide and is opened 12 times a day: 6 times for water traffic and 6 times for road traffic. The facility is worth seeing because it is the only bridge of this type in Poland and Europe. There is one span and it does not rise up, but tilts sideways by 90 degrees. It is set parallel to the canal embankment. Thanks to a special, original mechanism, the 100-ton bridge can be manually operated by one operator. The entire operation of opening the bridge takes about 5 minutes. A special certificate can be obtained from the person operating the bridge - a seal of presence on this facility. mazury24.eu/atrakcje-turystyczne/most-obrotowy-gizycko,376
