For trainspotting enthusiasts, but - at least in 2026 very patient: this route has still been without passenger traffic since 2009.

The approach to the tower is difficult due to a high curb. The view from the tower is quite nice.

From the path along the canal it's quite a steep entrance, but the views are beautiful!

Very small beach, beautiful view of Śniardwy! You can sit on a fallen tree.

Luxurious ground. Too bad they forgot to mow the verges... the undergrowth is so thick that in places it takes up half the path.

Two comments: The so-called "Viewpoint at the Emitel tower in Milki"... 1. It is located on private property. After the MPR was built, it was a picture of a garbage dump, like most of the surrounding MOR. One day, someone resting in this area will be very surprised to meet the young owner. 1a. It is unpleasant when wet. The hill was heavily gouged by heavy equipment about 3 years ago. 2. The Emitel mast is in Kleszczewo. It is still a long way to Miłki... and we will insist on this. ;p
