A path (along Grajewska Street) that can take you to the hospital and further towards Nowa Wieś Ełcka or turn right (when the cobblestone surface ends) and reach the promenade on Lake Ełckie.

“Behold the Heart of the Redeemer – an understandable sign of his indomitable love and an inexhaustible source of true peace. In him “the fullness of God truly dwells” (Col 2:9). The peace that Christ brought to earth comes precisely from this fullness and this love. It is the gift of a loving God who loved man in the heart of his only begotten Son. “He is our peace” (cf. Phil 2:14) – exclaims Saint Paul. Yes, Jesus is peace, he is our reconciliation. (…) As we venerate his Sacred Heart today, let us pray fervently for peace: first for peace in our hearts, but also for peace in our families, in our country and throughout the world: Heart of Jesus, our peace and our reconciliation, have mercy on us!” (Address by Pope John Paul II on 7 June 1999 in Toruń)
