Wyspa Mlynska

Wyspa Mlynska is a historical location positioned inside the Old Town of Bydgoszcz, masking about 6.5 ha: nowadays it is a place with cultural and leisure facilities, surrounded via the Brda river and its branch. The island obtained the 2012 Certificate for Best Tourist Attraction from the Polish Tourist Organisation. The island is situated between Brda river and its leat branch, west of the Old Market, in Bydgoszcz Old Town. Only one avenue runs through the island, Mennica road, whose name derives from "mennica", "mint" in polish: a royal mint demolished within the nineteenth century operated there from 1594 to 1688.

Mennica street connects the Old Market to the mills on the island, and extends to Focha avenue, going for walks alongside the causeway connecting Mill Island with water locks. Mill Island is one of the most stunning scenic spots in Bydgoszcz, way to its picturesque functions: lengthy waterfronts, locks and dams, canal waterfall, greenery and buildings frontages on waterfront. Its area within the Old Town district is an image of the close symbiosis between Bydgoszcz town and the river-and-canals network, the Bydgoszcz Floodway.
