A beautiful and magical place. It's impossible to describe, it must be seen.

If, due to the closed ferry on the Buk River, you find yourself on the bridge over the Boga River under renovation (road situation 2025/07) in Kózki, turn off road no. 19 onto this seemingly wild forest path, which will lead you to a thick, pleasant gravel road and then to asphalt as smooth as a table.

A new footbridge over the Kamionka river in a very nice place enables easy travel along a path/shortcut from national road 19 to Turna Duża and then along the gravel road to Anusin.

The chapel is open type, accessible to all those in need. The source of water is a traditional artesian well, the water is very good without aftertaste, cold even in the middle of a hot day, ideal for filling bottles.

The Bug Valley tempts with picturesque views, but this is not the only attraction of this area. History enthusiasts flock here to discover the remains of one of the most famous fortifications of World War II. Around 1,900 structures of various purposes, over 150,000 soldiers and civilians working on their construction in 1940, over 1,000 km long – the scale of this undertaking is still admirable today. And all this in order to separate themselves from the German ally, with whom Minister Molotov had signed a friendship treaty just a few months earlier. However, Stalin knew that an alliance with Germany was as fleeting as the smoke from his favorite pipe. Hence the construction of large-scale fortifications, which were to stop the aggressor, enable mobilization in the event of war and support offensive operations. The Molotov Line, like its French “cousin” – the Maginot Line, did not live up to the hopes placed in it. The German attack surprised the Russians, some of the bunkers were not even occupied, others did not resist for long. Abandoned almost without a fight, some turned into a pile of rubble, after the war they became a treasure trove of engines and generators for the local population.
