The Długa Luka Footbridge on Carska Droga is one of the most beautiful viewpoints in the Biebrza Valley. The wooden footbridge leads deep into the vast peat bogs, offering visitors a panoramic view of endless sedges and marshes. From the viewing platform, you can admire rare plants such as the red cuckoo and the Lapland willow, as well as numerous marsh birds, including the aquatic warbler, the long-eared owl, and the great snipe. Moose and sunbathing lizards are also common sights.

Crosses were erected to commemorate an important event or to affirm religious commitment. They were built in gratitude for saving a life or receiving a grace. They also served as boundary markers, marking the end and beginning of a village, and as signposts. Karawaks protected against epidemics. In Poland, there is also the custom of erecting crosses along roads to commemorate tragic deaths in road accidents. Crosses are made from various materials. One example is the cross with the figure of Christ carved from sheet metal. They were mainly created between the second half of the 19th and the mid-20th centuries.

Uścianek is a small village in the commune. Goniądz (approx. 20 inhabitants). The village is located on the BNP horse and bicycle trail. There are dunes to the east and west of the village. Coming from Wilamówka to the North. To Uscianek, when we turn right (to the East), after 400 m of the gravel road, we have a vast valley. He often sees various rare birds there, including falcons and eagles. The area around Uścianko is an area according to BNP records, where you can find mainly lynx and moose. I didn't see any lynx, but I saw moose and deer often. At the beginning of the village there is an old cross in a quite old settlement, but there are no historic buildings here, even though the village is old. This is a more natural attraction for people who like to take photos and admire animals and pine forests with beautiful blueberries, of which there are many around. In this valley east of Uścianko you can also often see foxes, hares and cranes, and at the right time flocks of geese. The architecture of the village is not unique. Just old. It is worth visiting this valley east of the village.

This is where a pleasant section of the BNP through the forest ends. It will continue to be difficult and hard. There is a small shelter nearby for resting.

A resting place along the route.

Such a small village has no travel route. Basically nothing special. Let me just say that we tried to take the road through the forest (not the gravel one) and unfortunately the sand overcame us, so we had to go back to the gravel road.
