Tips from the Community
Before the bridge was built, the wild Vistula river regularly formed natural sandbanks (islands) at this spot. This was a crucial breeding ground for rare bird species – about 12% of the local common tern population and 17% of the little tern population nested here! The construction of the bridge pillars meant the loss of their home, which sparked huge protests from naturalists.

The granaries in Grudziądz are a unique complex of medieval grain warehouses built on the Vistula escarpment. Their massive walls served both a defensive function and protected against landslides. The characteristic silhouette of the granaries, visible from the Vistula, has become a symbol of the city. Today, some of the buildings have been adapted for museum and residential purposes. The panorama of the granaries from the river is one of the most recognizable views on the entire Vistula Bike Trail.
