A unique place. A sturdy, two-story observation tower with a stunning view of the Drwęca River valley. Perfect for birdwatching and listening to the silence 😉. There's a small garbage dump at the foot of the tower, but it's best to take your own trash with you.

It is not only the highest elevation in this region, but also in the whole of north-eastern Poland - 312 m above sea level. From the observation tower here there is a wonderful panorama, so it is not to be missed.

Guesthouse and canteen-restaurant. Beautiful, old school buildings, unusual, warm kitchen area. You need to book a place to stay and eat in advance (approx. 2-3 days).

The observation tower here offers a beautiful panoramic view of the hilly landscape. The wooden stairs creak a little, which gives the tower a certain charm. Once you reach the top, you will be rewarded with a view that offers you a wide view over fields and forests - in good weather, all the way to the horizon. The information board on site will help you identify the surrounding villages and landscape features. In combination with the neighboring boulder gallery, which consists of interesting stone sculptures, this makes a worthwhile destination. The details in the stonemasonry are particularly exciting and give the place a certain mystique. Ideally, you should combine the visit with a hike through the surrounding forests to enjoy nature in all its diversity. The climb is definitely worth it. You should just be a little careful on the steps - they are sturdy, but one or two of the steps have seen better days.

The old railway bridge has something abandoned about it, as if it has already witnessed many a story. The rails have long been overgrown with moss and grass, and the beams creak quietly in the wind. Here, in the middle of the greenery, the former railway traffic is only a memory that resonates in the rusty railings and faded wooden planks. It almost feels like you are walking through a time capsule. The bridge not only connects the banks of the small river, but also the past with the present. You can literally feel how the trains once rattled here - a thought that gives the place a certain melancholy. The view from the bridge offers a charming view of the surrounding nature, which is reflected in the water and offers a moment of silence. Although the bridge is no longer passable, it remains a silent witness to history and a worthwhile detour for anyone who wants to discover the forgotten places on their hikes. A bit of a sense of adventure is required here, because the path is bumpy and the traces of time are unmistakable.

Lots of gravel, lots of sand, highway. The few highlights can't make up for that.
