Beautiful place, good access and access. You can go with children. In spring the Narew is very flooded, and in summer it creates beautiful, winding, fast streams by the tower. Good views and far into the valley and the river itself. There are toilets nearby, there is also a shop and a shelter nearby.

The tower was new in 2024 when I was there. Beautiful views. Very good access by any bike. Clean water. Nearby there are footbridges, a crossing, a shelter with a barbecue and other attractions and monuments. It's worth going.

April 17, 2021, Zwierzyniecki Forest

It was established on June 14, 1996 by the order of the Minister of the Environment in order to preserve, for scientific and didactic reasons, a wet-hornbeam stand. Already in the times of the Branicki family, there was a fenced-off game preserve here on an area of about 14 versts, which was the place of many court hunts. They were inhabited by, among others: deer, pheasants, fallow deer, partridges, swans and wild ducks. Area according to the appointing act: 33.84 ha (currently reported size: 33.86 ha) Board: municipal ownership Supervision: Regional Director of Environmental Protection in Białystok Type of reserve: forest Goal of protection: preservation of a wet oak-hornbeam forest stand for scientific and didactic reasons.

The Green Monument to the Constitution of May 3 In 2006, on the initiative of the "Forum Białystok Tomorrow", the Social Committee for the Care of the Monument was established, aiming at recreating the shape given to it in the interwar period. The honorary patronage was assumed by Ryszard Kaczorowski, former president of the Republic of Poland in Exile. The president of Białystok, Tadeusz Truskolaski, became the coordinator. In April 2007, thanks to the help of the city authorities of Białystok, the monument was restored to the inhabitants of the city. The place was tidied up, an alley surrounding the oaks was made, three missing lindens were added, and a pyramid-shaped obelisk was set up. In 2010, the green monument and its surroundings were partially restored. The surrounding alleys have been renovated and some trees have been cut down. Instead, new oaks were planted to commemorate pre-war Białystok officials murdered in Katyn.

Broken bridge in Kruszewo is primarily peace and rest from the bustle of the city. The beautiful view from the vantage point of the Narew river backwaters is breathtaking. You can stand here and gaze at the endless landscape for hours. You'll meet here tourists with binoculars, fishing rods and and both can count on abundant hunting. The vast, wet area is a refuge for many species of birds, which will delight ornithologists, while the river itself allows anglers for a good catch. The Broken Bridge observation point in Kurów is visited by numerous cyclists. From the tollgates of Białystok we are within 17 km. It is worth considering this option, mainly because of the route rarely frequented by cars.
