The Bolko Oak – a pedunculate oak, which, according to measurements from 1992, sprouted around 1370, making it approximately 650 years old. It grows in a former manor park in Hniszów, Ruda-Huta commune, and has been protected as a natural monument since 1959. In the first decade of the 21st century, its circumference was 870 cm, making it one of the largest oaks in Poland. It reaches a height of 29 m. To stabilize the tree, conservation procedures are performed on it, including sanitation pruning, and the crown is stabilized by dynamic bonds. The Bolko Oak has an exceptionally impressive crown, measuring 34 x 30 m. Source: https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dąb_Bolko

The former Old Town Market Square in Chełm is today named after Dr. Edward Łuczkowski, a figure who, even though he comes from quite a distant past, can somehow impress contemporary lovers of bicycle tourism. Because we learn from the pages of the history of the region that the beginnings of the organized tourist and sightseeing movement in the city and the surrounding area are associated with the figure of Edward Łuczkowski (1865-1932) - a resident of Chełm for many generations, the local "Doctor Judym", an extremely dedicated and active social worker. regionalist. In 1905, he founded the Cyclists' Club in Chełm and, with a group of friends, he went out into the field, getting to know the beauty of the landscape and looking for traces of the region's past. After his strenuous efforts with the authorities, in April 1910, a branch of the Polish Tourist Society was opened in Chełm, of which he became the president. In this social one organization gathered the local intelligentsia, animating it with the spirit of love for the home country and arousing the need to know it better. source [http://cyfrowa.bpchelm.pl/Content/606/Z%20dziejow%20Oddzialu%20Polskiego.pdf]

One of many amenities prepared by the Polesie National Park on the "Czahara" educational route for visitors. From the observation tower you will be able to see Bagno Bubnów from above. Along the route, you will also have the opportunity to use tourist shelters to have a snack in the bosom of nature and wooden viewing platforms.

The "Czahary" educational trail is a great proposition of the Poleski National Park to learn the secrets of the tracks and visit the largest peat bog of the Park: Bagno Bubnów. The route is approximately 6.5 kilometers long and starts in the town of Zastawie at the observation tower. You can leave your car there, but if you are traveling with a disabled person, there is also another parking lot available, right next to the place where the footbridges begin. The paths are adapted for wheelchairs and strollers. If you don't feel up to it, the route can be shortened by about 1.5 kilometers (alternative route), but I sincerely recommend walking the entire route, bird watching (cranes, birds with the coat of arms of the Polesie National Park love this place) and relaxing in this charming environment . Maybe you'll also see a moose if you're lucky? Remember that admission to the path is subject to a fee, you can buy a ticket at the Educational and Administrative Center and the Educational and Museum Center, as well as via the eParki.pl platform at https://poleskipn.eparki.pl/.
