The Siekierki–Neurüdnitz European Bridge
The bridges consist of a pedestrian and bicycle crossing and a lookout point. The entire structure is approximately 700 meters long. This site is a fascinating historical landmark and now also a major tourist attraction in the region, connecting Poland and Germany. The structure offers a magnificent vantage point overlooking the Odra River floodplains and marks the start of the Western Lake District Bicycle Route. Originally built in the 19th century as a railway bridge, it was blown up during World War II. The bridge was later rebuilt but remained out of service for decades. In 2021, reconstruction of the section on the Polish side was completed. On June 25, 2022, the German section of the bridge was opened. Thus, it is now possible to cross the Oder River and the border by bicycle. A pedestrian and bicycle path, a rest area for tourists, and a covered observation deck have been built on the bridge, all set against the picturesque backdrop of Western Pomerania’s natural landscape. The bridge in Siekierki is located within a landscape park.

Ferry "Without Borders" in Gozdowice
The ferry operates from May 1, 2026, through the end of August.
For current information on ferry routes, please check the Mieszkowice Commune website (in Polish).
The crossing harkens back to pre-war times, when Gozdowice was still a popular resort. The Gozdowice–Güstebieser Loose ferry border crossing is the first ferry border crossing on the Oder River in Poland. Years ago, the village was divided between Poland and Germany, and the ferry service was discontinued at that time. It was not until 2007 that the two parts of the village were symbolically reunited and integrated.
The “Ferry Without Borders” in Gozdowice is a modern ferry that carries not only people but also cars, bicycles, and motorcycles. Ferry rides can be great fun for families with children.

Museum of Remembrances of the 1st Polish Army and the History of Mieszkowice Land in Mieszkowice - Branch in Gozdowice
History of the Museum
On April 16, 1965, on the 20th anniversary of the forcing of the Oder River, the Museum of Engineering Forces Memorabilia of the 1st Polish Army was opened in Gozdowice. The establishment of the facility is a great merit and initiative of the sappers, who worked under the leadership of Maj. Konstanty Majchajski of the Higher School of Engineering Forces Officers in Wroclaw. The building housed the staff command post of the chief of the engineering troops of the 1st Army of the Polish Army, General Jerzy Bordziłowski, and the commander of the 6th pontoon-bridge battalion, Major Alexander Kofanov.
An indispensable role in the history of the museum in Gozdowice was played by PFC Andrzej Kraska. It was thanks to his skills as a draftsman and surveyor that models of bridges, charts and terrain mock-ups were built to reflect the section of the front forcing the Oder River from Gozdowice to Siekierek from April 14-20, 1945. The further fate of Pvt. Andrzej Kraska was even more connected with the museum in Gozdowice, thanks to the decision of Maj. Machajski, who after the ceremonial opening of the museum on 31.05.1965 entrusted the function of the first museum custodian and tour guide to Andrzej Kraska.
In the building of the current museum during the forcing of the Oder River (14.04-20.04.1945) there was a command post of the chief of the engineering troops of the 1st Polish Army and the commander of the 6th Pontoon-Bridge Battalion. In the building, which was renovated in 2013, visitors can see on the second floor a reconstructed command post and exhibits related to German soldier's equipment, Soviet soldier's equipment and items found by exploration associations in West Pomerania.
On the first floor, in one of the rooms, visitors will see, among other things, documents, decorations, small arms and staff maps from 1945. Another room features mock-ups of bridge crossings, pontoon crossings, uniforms and equipment of the engineering troops, and a fragment of a boat wreck from an NLP light crossing park excavated from the bottom of the Oder River in 2016. In the third room, a glass display case shows a variety of mines, grenades and bombs from the First and Second World Wars. In the museum's display case, for example, is a German Flascheneismine 42 ice mine, this type of anti-personnel mine was used at potential crossing points for enemy troops. Another interesting specimen is a practice German anti-tank mine of the Topfmine 4531 B type, made from a mixture of sawdust and resin. The mine used a glass fuse of the SF1 type. The body was closed with a cap made of glass.
Another interesting exhibit is a restored German NSU TS 601 motorcycle with sidecar. This exhibit was lent in 2019. Machines of this type first appear in German catalogs in 1937, nevertheless it was initially ridden only by factory drivers.
Ferry in Gozdowice.
The history of ferry crossings in Gozdowice dates back to the 18th century, at which time residents could use horse-drawn carts to transport agricultural products and their animals to the other side for grazing. In subsequent years, thanks to the construction of numerous restaurants, resorts and beaches, tourists from Berlin began to arrive in increasing numbers.
With the end of the Second World War, free passage to the other side of the river ceased to function. It was not until 2007 that the side-car ferry "Without Borders" takes tourists, cyclists from April to October to the other side of the Oder.

The Old Town
Moryń is one of the smallest towns in the West Pomerania Province, with only 1600 inhabitants. Its history dates back to the 10th century – when a stronghold was created along with the nearby fishing and farming settlement. Civic rights were conferred to Moryń before 1306. In the 14th century town’s fortification system was built. In 1320, the town joined the New March. In the 15th century the town was ruled by the Teutonic Order – that was the time when (1433) the Hussites made severe destruction in the town. In the 18th century, the town survived three great fires. During the Nazi occupation, a special school, one of the two in Pomerania, was opened in Moryń. Its main aim was Germanisation of Polish children.
The town is off the main communication routes, therefore during the WWII it didn’t suffer serious damage (approx. 15% was damaged). Therefore, most of its precious heritage has been preserved. The old town is almost entirely surrounded by the medieval defence wall (4,5 m high, 300 meters in diameter). The old town entered the list of cultural heritage of the province.
Inside the town walls, visitors will find The Holy Spirit Church, which was built in Late-Roman style during the second half of the 13th century. The building with three naves, made of granite joint blocks was expanded in the 14th century. Inside, we will find, the 12th-century Roman altar made of granite cubes (which is one hundred years older than the church itself), the Baroque pulpit and the fragments of the Medieval polychrome.
In the eastern part of the old market, at 1 Plac Wolności [Liberty Square] there is a town hall – the 19th-century building with a Classical portal. In 1961, it was rebuilt after fire. In front of the building, there is a fountain with the sculpture of a crayfish. This refers to a local legend, which says that in the past, there lived a boy named Crayfish. During Brandenburg’s attack, he forced his way through the enemy’s ranks and he brought the ducal army, which helped to conquer the opponents. Unfortunately, the young man died during the fight. According to the legend, during moonlit nights, his soul comes out of Morzycko Lake and as a crayfish protects Moryń.
On 27 Rynkowa Street there is a Neo-Gothic building from 1874 – in the past there was an orphanage financed by Christian Ferdinand Koch. In 1903, his monument was placed in front of the building. These days, it houses a nursing home for disabled children, which is run by Benedictine Sisters of the Cross of Jesus Christ.
Residential buildings from the 18th and the 19th centuries are also part of the old town. Some of the facilities are equipped with stoops. The old town in Moryń entered the list of cultural heritage in February 1956.

The Old Town
According to a legend, Mieszkowice was founded in the 11th-12th century by Mieszko I. For the location of a mediaeval settlement the areas between the Rurzyca River, the right tributary of the Oder River, and Lake Mieszkowickie were chosen. The town was located on a trade route between Pomerania and the Lubusz region. In the late 13th century, Mieszkowice was granted a town charter, and the town was surrounded by stone defensive walls about 1300.
Over the centuries, the town was repeatedly destroyed – in 1433, when Mieszkowice was governed by the Teutonic knights, the town was burnt down by the Hussites. It was also affected by three fires and during the Thirty Years’ War. In 1945, only 30% of the buildings were destroyed.
In spite of many wars that swept through the town, the mediaeval buildings have survived up to this day. There are large sections of 5-7 meter tall walls preserved (the total length of the preserved fortifications amounts to 1.5 km. The lower part of the city walls was built of boulders, the upper part – of brick. Up to the present, there are 14 half-shell towers and 12 rectangular towers preserved, including Baszta Prochowa [the Gunpowder Tower] from the 15th century. Much of the fortifications have been devastated. Also, a promenade has been created along the city walls.
Within the area of the Old Town, we can find the early-Gothic Transfiguration of Our Lord church from the late 13th century, built of granite blocks. In the 14th century, the church was rebuilt. A granite entrance portal has been preserved, as well as a bell from 1756 in the tower, and a mediaeval baptismal font inside the church.
By the market square a town hall, rebuilt in the first half of the 19th century, is located. The building is situated on 1 Fryderyka Chopina Street. Nowadays, it is a seat of the town authorities.
In the central part of the Old Town, a monument of Mieszko I, erected in 1957, designed by Sławomir Lewański, can be found. The statue was placed on an 18th-century pedestal made of multi-coloured sandstone. The monument was made due to the 1000th anniversary of the city.
The Old Town is also comprised of half-timbered houses from the 18th and the 19th centuries. The town is located on two tourist trails – the blue Szlak Wzgórz Morenowych [the Moraine Hill Trail] and the red Szlak Nadodrzański [the Oder River Trail].

The Town fortifications of Trzcińsko Zdrój
Despite its stormy past, numerous fires and wars, in Trzcińsko-Zdrój the line of the town fortifications remains quite impressive. The fortifications were built in 14th-15th century and they are made of fieldstone and brick. Some time ago the fortifications had 30 shooting towers, they were surrounded by a moat and an embankment – both were destroyed in the 19th century.
Five lupine towers, twenty rectangular towers and two towers – Prochowa and Bociana, as well as two gates – Myśliborska and Chojeńska (there were three, but Strzeszowska Gate did not endure) exist up until now.
Myśliborska Gate was built in the 14th century and it was 20 high long. It constituted the most important element of the town defence. The bottom part of the structure was made of granite blocks and the upper – of brick. It is a tower gate created on the plan of a rectangle. The structure is equipped with an iron grating which replaced a wooden grating. In the 16th century octagonal superstructures were created from which it was possible to monitor the surroundings. There are also shooting apertures in the gate. The name of the gate comes from its location in the wall – it is directed towards Myślibórz.
Chojeńska Gate was built in the 14th century and it was 18 m high. In the 15th century a gateway was also built which was later destroyed in the 19th century. As in the case of Myśliorska Gate, the lower part of Chojeńska Gate was made of fieldstone and the upper – of brick. This gate also had an iron grating which in the past was closed for the night. In the 16th century octagonal superstructures were built which allowed monitoring of the area. Ladders were used to move between different floors. There was a permanent team working at the gate, as well as equipment and food supplies. Also in this case the name is related to the direction towards which it was built.
Prochowa Tower was created in the 15th century by the closing of a semi-circular shed. The tower built on the plan of a circle was probably used to store gunpowder. The lower part of the structure was made of stone, and the upper – of brick. In the tower shooting apertures are visible and the structure has a defensive porch finished with a wall without blanks.
The name of the Bociania Tower has been used since the 19th century and it comes from a crow's nest which has been on the structure up until now. The structure itself was built in the 15th century by the closing of a 14th century rectangular shed. There was a residential building built in the 19th century which adhered to the tower. We will find three shooting apertures in the walls of the tower.
Town fortifications of Trzcińsko-Zdrój were entered on the list of monuments in November 1963.
