Tips from the Community
The tower on Góra Dylewska is not the only one here - this one is higher! But it is a relay TV station with a tall mast - a bit too modern for this area... but it makes an impression - thin and tall. There is also a shelter and tables for a picnic next to it, so everything is fine.

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.

A piece of history awaits you in Marienfelde (Glaznoty) - the Protestant church from the 14th century. At first glance it seems simple and modest, and yet each of its weathered walls tells of times long past. The mighty tower rises above the fields as if it were keeping silent watch. A detour to the neighboring boulder gallery is particularly worthwhile. Here lie carefully arranged stones that are reminiscent of works of art - some smooth and round, others rough and angular. Each of these boulders has its own character and forms a fascinating contrast to the rolling hills in the background. The combination of nature and culture gives the place a peculiar calm that invites you to pause for a moment. A little more care would not hurt the church and the boulder gallery to fully show off their charm, but perhaps that is precisely what makes this place so special - a mixture of transience and permanence.
