Attractions and Places To See around gmina gmina gmina Chorzele - Top 8

As a result of a tip-off by an UB agent, pseudonym "Zadrożny", on June 25, 1948, the KBW and UB managed to establish the main headquarters of the "Orzeł" District Command, which was located in the Kraski forest in the village of Gleba. The District HQ bunkers were surrounded. Over 50 platoons of the 1st and 2nd KBW Brigades, i.e. over 1,500 soldiers, 4 aircraft and artillery, took part in the action against a group of partisans consisting of a dozen or so people. After a day-long fight and an unsuccessful attempt to break through, the partisan defense was broken (four were killed, nine - including 2 wounded - and two women and a child fell into the hands of the communists). The wounded Józef Kozłowski was transported to Warsaw, where he underwent a difficult investigation, after which he was sentenced to death.

Kucbork (German: Kutzburg, Kottenberg) – a village located in the southern part of the Masurian Lake District, on the Kurpie–Masuria border, in the Warmian–Masurian Voivodeship, in the Szczytno district, in the Wielbark commune. Kucbork is located on the Sawica River, 4 km north of Wielbark. A forge existed here as early as 1360 (it survived until the beginning of the 19th century!). The village was founded in 1408, granted to five beekeepers. At the end of the 15th century, the number of beekeepers, encouraged by the favorable conditions of settlement, increased even more. A small estate belonging to the metallurgical masters was established at the forge. In the second half of the 16th century, the village covered only 6 łans, but later, as part of the box settlement, its area increased significantly. In the mid-19th century, the village had 110 łans, although most of it was occupied by pastures, meadows and forests. During World War I, Kucbork was partially burned down; later rebuilt from the destruction. http://encyklopedia.warmia.mazury.pl/index.php/Kucbork

In the town of Skierkowizna, there is the Parish of St. Andrew Bobola. The church in Skierkowizna is one of the youngest historic temples in Mazovia. In the 19th century, the faithful from Skierkowizna, in order to get to their parish church in Przasnysz, had to travel 15 km one way. In order to create better conditions for them to reach the church, Fr. Kazimierz Gwiazda - the then vicar from Przasnysz decided to build a temple. The church was brought from Janów. In the 1930s, a brick church was built there, and the previous wooden one turned out to be unnecessary. In 1936, Fr. Kazimierz Gwiazda bought the building from the Janów parish and transported it to Skierkowizna, placing it on donated land. The church itself (as a building) is 100 years old - it was built in 1917, the year of the apparitions in Fatima. The parish was established in September 1938 by the then bishop of Płock, Blessed Antoni Julian Nowowiejski, a martyr from Dachau. The parish owes its amazing appearance to the late Father Sylwester Szadkowski, a former parish priest who worked here for 36 years. Modeled on the wooden highland churches in the Tatras, Father Sylwester created one of the most beautiful wooden churches in Poland – called the "wooden basilica" or "wooden cathedral". https://parafia-skierkowizna.pl/historia-parafii-i-kosciola/

For me, this is a very, very interesting place that can be considered an "attraction". After all, instead of this square, you could have pointed to a sacred object and written something about it.

An unmapped overgrown trail runs along the Sawica creek, at least out to an information panel about the stream and its history or to the boat dock for those who bring a packraft or kayak.

Tidy village with a somehow remote feel, between forest and Sawica creek, that has a tradition as a colony of German and Polish farmers and foresters cultivating the once densely forested area. It sits at the crossroads of several enjoyable gravel tracks going star-shaped in all directions. A large information panel provides historic context and old photographs.

Great square around the church. It seems too big for an extremely sleepy town. A good place to relax in a hammock or on the grass.

It is an oblong hill that protrudes a few meters above the rest of the area, here very low and often flooded in spring by the waters of the Orzyc and its small tributaries. We also advise against visiting Łysa Góra in early spring or wet autumn - unless someone likes to wet their shoes properly. Now the question arises why it is worth visiting this place. The most important reason is that Łysa Góra is the place where the first traces of human presence were found in the Chorzel region. Today, this hill is entered in the register of monuments, and in archaeological catalogs it is listed as the site of Rembielin.
