A small shelter where you can easily rest your bike, and a nice beach with beautiful views of the lake. A bit off the path, so there is a chance it will be quieter here.

The covered rest area is located directly on the German-Polish border on a very well asphalted cycle path that runs parallel to the border.

In 1783 Ludwig Mohring built a farm with a manor on the site of the Szmaragd inn. At the end of the 19th century, it was inhabited by workers working in a nearby chalk mine. The building was rebuilt and extended many times. Until 2010, it had a restaurant and a small hotel with 20 seats. Currently, the inn has undergone a major renovation in 2019 and will house the Landscape Parks Complex. However, this institution will be obliged to provide accommodation there (mainly for children and adolescents), a gastronomic offer (for rent to an external entity) and an environmental education base.

A place to rest on the border in the form of a large shelter, table and benches. Next to it, a bicycle rack.

Right next to a resting place. Forester's lodge in the Głębokie Forest Park. In the nineteenth century there was a farm here belonging to the estate in Bezrzecze. In 1862, farm buildings were erected, in which 10 people lived before 1939. After 1945, the buildings housed a forester's lodge of the forest administration. In the years 1816-1939 administratively it belonged to the Randow poviat, from 1939 to the city of Szczecin. Currently, the buildings are located at Gajówka Owczary 1
