The Henryk Mroziński Amphitheatre in Braniewo is an interesting place to take a break during a bike trip around the city. It was built in 1974 on the site of a former medieval moat and today serves as a cultural and recreational space. The amphitheatre hosts concerts and local events, and its location in the historic surroundings adds to its charm. It is a good opportunity to stop, learn about the history of Braniewo and catch your breath in a pleasant place close to the center.

The New Mill Chapel is a little gem in the middle of the forest. The red brick literally shines between the old trees and gives the impression that time has taken a short break here. The neo-Gothic architecture gives the chapel a special aura that stands out from the surrounding nature and yet blends perfectly into the landscape. As you get closer, the wrought iron cross on the roof catches your eye and the decorated windows reveal a hint of the past. The history of the chapel is closely linked to the old mill that stood nearby and once determined life in this remote corner. Today, only the old walls and the quiet atmosphere remind you of the past. The path here leads through a dense forest and the hike to the chapel is an experience in itself. The gentle rustling of the leaves and the crunching of the forest floor under your feet accompany you until you suddenly stand in front of the chapel - a moment that invites you to pause.

The small pitch right on the lake offers exactly what you are looking for after a long day of hiking: peace, nature and a warm atmosphere. You are greeted warmly as soon as you arrive, and you can feel that the operator is passionate about what he does - they also speak German, which makes communication pleasantly uncomplicated. The pitches are idyllically located on the shore, so you can wake up in the morning with a view of the glittering water and enjoy the sunsets to the full in the evening. The amenities such as electricity, water and disposal are particularly pleasant, making camping easier without losing your closeness to nature. If you like, you can put your kayak directly in the water and go for a paddle or walk your dog along the shore. The lake is surrounded by reeds, which creates a special atmosphere, especially when the last rays of sun are reflected in the water. It is a place that does not demand much of you, but gives so much back. The simplicity and proximity to nature make this pitch a little insider tip for anyone looking for a relaxing place away from large campsites.

This church is a minor basilica whose patron saint is Catherine of Alexandria. Nothing remains of the first wooden church from the 12th century. The imposing building in front of you is neo-Gothic in style. One of the last reconstructions dates back to 1859. Towards the end of the Second World War this sacred place was destroyed again, then rebuilt in the early 1980s, to be consecrated in 1986.
