nad Kanałem Łuczańskim (Giżyckim), Giżycko, woj. warmińsko-mazurskie
A historic swing bridge over the Łuczański Canal in Giżycko, whose entire span rotates 90 degrees, aligning parallel to the quay to let watercraft pass. It is about 20 m long and about 8 m wide.
The bridge connects the town with the area of Boyen Fortress across the Łuczański Canal (Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship). Coordinates: approx. 54.036°N, 21.76°E.
Built in 1898 by the Beuchelt & Co. company from Zielona Góra. Destroyed in 1945, it was rebuilt in 1946. After the 1993 renovation, manual operation was restored - one person turns the roughly 100-tonne structure, and the cycle takes about 5 minutes.
For tourists visiting Giżycko and lovers of unique technical solutions.
Closed to water traffic from 1 November to 31 March; turned during the sailing season.
Giżycko, Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship; access by car and rail (Giżycko station).
