Gorczyca Lock - It is located on the 57th kilometer of the canal, in the village of the same name, on the Orlewo Canal. There is a bridge over the lock, so there is no problem in finding it.

Scenic Gravel Path in Wigierski National Park

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Wide and with nice views, but beware: on dry and windy days a lot of dust. It is also not a very fast section, because you still have to "fight" with the washboard.
