A very important investment realized on the navigable route in the Ruciane - Nida commune by Wody Polskie in partnership with the Great Masurian Lakes Association 2020 is the new lock - Guzianka II, which connects the lakes: Guzianka Mała and Bełdany. The main goal of this investment was the modernization of water infrastructure and the improvement of navigation along the WJM. https://www.ruciane-nida.pl/dla-turysty/zeglarstwo/sluza
