Easy hikes and walks around gmina Niebylec

The former Greek Catholic Church of St. Demetrius. The church was built of sandstone in the Byzantine style in 1921 by Greek Catholics and used until their displacement in 1946. Until then, the Roman Catholic population of Czarnorzeki belonged to the Korczyna parish, and after the war, the entire population of the village, including the church, belonged to the Korczyna parish. On June 16, 1971, Czarnorzeki was incorporated into the Węglówka parish. The walls are plastered with washed terrazzo with a touch of colored glass. The roof is characterized by a large, bulbous dome, topped with a distinctive iron cross, covered with sheet metal. The clearly visible crescent moon at the base of the cross is the symbol of the Mother of God, while the rays located between the arms are the symbols of the sun – the symbol of Christ. The remaining roofs are simple, covered with sheet metal. The cathedral altar, a simple oak altar, and a pulpit at the altar.

Today we visited the tower and explored the accessible rooms. The ground floor doors were closed, while the upstairs room with a nature photography exhibition was open, and of course, the viewing gallery on the second floor. For now, the view toward the expansive Carpathian panorama is unobstructed, but that will change. Right across the asphalt road between the tower and the panorama, in an area slightly higher than the base of the observation tower, someone has planted spruce trees along the road. 😮 The observation deck on the tower is 9 meters high. I was looking for information on how long it will take for the spruce trees to reach this height and block the view. The AI review provided the following answer: "A spruce tree needs about 15 to 30 years to reach 9 meters in height, as it grows on average 30 to 60 cm per year, with the fastest growth occurring between the 5th and 15th year of the tree's life. The exact time depends on the spruce species, soil conditions, sunlight, and care." WW
