Bridge over Ełckie Lake, Monument bridge across Lake Ełckie in Ełk, Poland
The Bridge over Ełckie Lake is a reinforced concrete structure that crosses one of Poland's deepest lakes. It connects the northern and central sections of the lake through an island and serves both vehicular and pedestrian traffic.
The structure was built over an island containing the ruins of a Teutonic castle, reflecting centuries of regional development. Its construction shows the long history of infrastructure connections in the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship.
The bridge sits on Zamkowa Street and serves as a central meeting point for locals and visitors. It links areas where people swim and spend time by the water.
The bridge provides access to two municipal beaches with full facilities on either side. Whether walking or driving, you will find a reliable crossing over the lake.
The lake has a distinctive boomerang shape and reaches depths of about 56 meters at its deepest point. Water quality has improved significantly in recent years and now meets higher purity standards.
