The best walks and hikes in Las Pietrasze

A walk through the Podlaskie Muzeum Kultury Ludowej is like a journey back in time to the rural past of eastern Poland. Among traditional wooden houses, barns, and workshops, you can experience the simple life of previous generations firsthand. The tour is particularly beautiful on a dry day – in rain, the grounds can become muddy and unpleasant. The extensive grounds are idyllically situated on the edge of the forest, just a few kilometers outside of Białystok, and are perfect for a quiet stroll with plenty of photo opportunities. Ideal as a cultural stop during a bike ride or hike through the region. 📸 Tip: Be sure to bring your camera or smartphone – the play of light on the old wooden facades is particularly atmospheric at sunset!

Podlaskie Museum of Folk Culture (until September 2016 Białystok Village Museum) – an open-air museum, collecting wooden architecture monuments and ethnographic collections from the Białystok, Łomża and Suwałki regions. It was created by merging the Białystok Village Museum and the Ethnography Department of the Podlaskie Museum, previously it was a branch of the Museum. The Museum is located on the northern border of Białystok, in the town of Wasilków, on the road to Augustów. The Ethnography Department has been operating since 1962, and the open-air museum was established in 1982 as a branch of the then District Museum in Białystok. The open-air museum was to implement projects to protect the wooden architecture of the Białystok region, created in the 1960s. The author of one of the first program assumptions was Prof. Ignacy Tłoczek. The project finally accepted for implementation was authored by Prof. Marian Pokropek. It assumed the reconstruction of entire settlement systems found in north-eastern Poland, such as: terraced houses, linear houses, small-nobility hamlets, colonial buildings, and manor and forest complexes.

Nonsense, not a historical site. Please provide sources, not the author's fantasies

The place is fenced. Quite neat. In the square there are collective graves of people killed in the war and a monument. An interesting place worth visiting while in this forest.

In this place I found some embankments or trenches. Maybe it was once a redoubt or some fortifications. I haven't found exact information on the internet. There are interesting earth formations there. Quite spacious in the shape of a circle.

You can enter the parking lot by taking the second exit from the ring road, next to the yellow barriers. A good place to rest and start a hike or bike ride. The forest is beautiful. Really worth.
