In Wolf's Lair I recommend a tour with an audio guide. Getting there by bike is not easy - especially when it's windy, rainy and thundering.

Gravel, cobble, and asphalt: three surface options on 4 parallel tracks to choose from on this well-maintained rural road, where surprisingly the bikers get the smoothest EuroVelo asphalt trails, the rural farm vehicles rumble along the traditional cobblestone alley that's survived a couple of hundred years, and the gravel/mtb crowd can opt for the dirt in between 👍

Calm lake with good water for swimming, ringed by gravel and dirt trails. This village might be the eponymous origin of the lake's name.

The relatively large, modern central square in the middle of the village has some new picnic tables with rain shelter, lots of bike parking, and a large ice-age boulder with a big bicycle carving. Clearly, this village appreciates and welcomes visitors on bikes.

The church in Czerniki (in the Gothic style) was built at the end of the 14th century on the site of the sacred grove of the Prussians. It is a hall-type building, with a sacristy and a porch on the north side and a tower on the north side. The church was rebuilt in the years 1749-1750 and 1771-1772, in 1886 a neo-Gothic tower was added, while the sacristy and porch were added at the end of the 19th century. After the Reformation, the church in Czerniki became an evangelical church until 1945. The first Holy Mass in Czerniki after the church was consecrated for Catholic worship took place on December 27, 1945. The church was consecrated under the invocation of St. John the Evangelist and Our Lady of the Scapular by Fr. Wacław Radziwon. Necessary renovations were carried out in the church. The main altar was changed - in place of the surviving stained glass window, a crucifix from the end of the 15th century was mounted, the origin of which is unknown.
