Tips from the Community
Centuries ago, before the first tourists climbed to the summit, Góra Dylewska was considered a mystical place by the local Sasin tribes.

The palace is surrounded by a charming, wild landscape park with magnificent old trees. Most visitors only see the building from the outside, passing by the darkest memento of its former inhabitants. In the thickets, far from the front of the palace, the original tombs of the former owners are still hidden today: Gerhard von Negenborn (1864–1931) and Katharina von Eckhardtstein (1852–1925). The fact that these German gravestones survived the post-war wave of destruction of everything Prussian is nothing short of a miracle.

The German engineers who built this facility in 1909 showed incredible imagination. Instead of building an ordinary, raw concrete bridge, they erected a structure of brick arches and granite blocks. Interestingly, they decorated it with geometric reliefs made of multicolored sandstone. Why go to such lengths for a local, 50-kilometer route connecting Samborowo and Turza Wielka? Trains mainly carried goods from the rich, surrounding landed estates (including Dylewo) – the viaduct was intended to be a showcase of the wealth of the local Prussian magnates.

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.

Here, you're truly close to nature. The Französischer See, a small forest pond in the nature reserve, invites you to pause and take a break. The water sparkles in the light, while trees and reeds sway gently in the breeze. The path leads through dense vegetation that, in places, seems almost fairytale-like. It's worth taking a break here and enjoying the silence – apart from the occasional croaking of frogs or the buzzing of insects. A glance into the water reveals a fascinating world of water lilies and tangled branches that seem to float in the clear water. The paths here can be muddy in places, especially after rain, so sturdy shoes are recommended. But that's precisely what makes this place so charming – it remains untouched and untamed. Those seeking peace and quiet are guaranteed to find it here.

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.
