Wyszogród, Medieval settlement ruins in Fordon district, Bydgoszcz, Poland.
The settlement remains include defensive walls and a moat on a steep bank, reaching 50 meters above sea level and 21 meters above the Vistula River.
The medieval fortress controlled river traffic at the junction of major trade routes until its abandonment approximately 675 years ago, leaving only 20 percent intact.
A memorial cross installed in 1997 marks the site where Saint Adalbert conducted his missionary journey over 1000 years ago through this strategic settlement.
Visitors can reach the site through three routes, including a paved dirt road from Fordońska Street near the Global Malt Polska facilities.
From the settlement's highest point, observers can see the Vistula River bend, the Mała Kępa nature reserve, and the meeting point of Brda River.
