Tips from the Community
Golubie is a former village on the edge of the Romincka Forest. Today, it's an open-air site with ruined foundations, old fruit trees, and a dilapidated obelisk commemorating its former inhabitants. The area is crisscrossed by the embankments of a former railway that encircled the forest (a route known for the bridges in Stańczyki), which now serve as dirt roads and convenient walking and cycling paths. On-site, you'll find an information board detailing the village's history, a map, and an educational trail.
