The border of Warmia on the so-called bishops' route
0

Quaint village along the eponymous Kaborno Kanal, with an old church surrounded by ancient trees. The trail along the canal and the forest tracks are great for mountain biking. Kaborno is directly connected to the Polish national road 53 (former German Reichsstraße 134) via the villages Klewki (Klaukendorf) and Klein Trinkhaus. It's interesting to compare the history in the German and Polish versions of Wikipedia, which are somewhat complementary. Taken together, it seems more complete: In 1359, the Warmia chapter granted a foundation charter to four Prussian brothers called Katyothen, who were granted a large area of forest called Absmedie (translated from Prussian aspen forest), together with the villages of Groß Trinkhaus (Polish: Trękus) and Klein Trinkhaus (Trękusek). 1518 mentioned as Caldeborn and in 1785 as a Köllmisches village in the Allenstein district (Heilsberg district) with 29 fireplaces, in 1820 with 20 fireplaces and 140 inhabitants. Between 1874 and 1945, Kalborno was incorporated into the Klein Trinkhaus (Polish: Trękusek) administrative district in the East Prussian Allenstein district. In the referendum on September 1, 1920, 167 residents (72.3%) of Kalborno voted for East Prussia and 64 (27.7%) for Poland.[4] On October 17, 1928, the village expanded to include the neighboring village of Klein Trinkhaus (Polish: Trękusek), which was incorporated. Kalborno had 549 inhabitants in 1934 and was renamed "Kalborn." When the entire southern East Prussia fell to Poland in 1945 as a result of the war, Kalborn received the Polish form of the name "Kaborno." Today, the village is a settlement within the Purda (Groß Purden) rural commune in Olsztyn County (Allenstein County), part of the Olsztyn Voivodeship between 1975 and 1998, and since then of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship. Kaborno had a total of 140 inhabitants in 2011. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaborno https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaborno

Starting with Cardinal Stanisław Hozjusz, Polish bishops from Warmia who came to take over their rule were ceremoniously welcomed in the area of the villages of Przykop and Bałdy and in the parish church in Butryny[1]. Here, the Bishop's Route leading from Warsaw to Lidzbark Warmiński crossed the border of Ducal Prussia (Masuria) and the diocese through the Gates of Warmia.

Lake Dłużek (southern end at DK58) - A narrow and elongated lake, as the name suggests.

National Road 58 - great surface, exciting, though gentle curves and beautiful views - in the opinion of motorcyclists - make every ride a real experience. One of the most beautiful parts of this route is Aleja Dębowa - a natural monument that intimidates with its magnificence and encourages you to take commemorative photos. There was little traffic, so I checked this opinion as a cyclist. I confirm: DK58 is a great, exciting bike path.
