The fortified settlement in Suraż is a remnant of one of the oldest settlements in Podlasie, picturesquely situated on the Narew River. Built in the 9th century, it served as an important defensive and administrative center, and today you can see clearly outlined earthen ramparts and moats. The place is interesting for cyclists looking for peaceful routes with views of the Narew Valley, and a short walk around the settlement allows you to feel the atmosphere of old times.

The Green Monument to the Constitution of May 3 In 2006, on the initiative of the "Forum Białystok Tomorrow", the Social Committee for the Care of the Monument was established, aiming at recreating the shape given to it in the interwar period. The honorary patronage was assumed by Ryszard Kaczorowski, former president of the Republic of Poland in Exile. The president of Białystok, Tadeusz Truskolaski, became the coordinator. In April 2007, thanks to the help of the city authorities of Białystok, the monument was restored to the inhabitants of the city. The place was tidied up, an alley surrounding the oaks was made, three missing lindens were added, and a pyramid-shaped obelisk was set up. In 2010, the green monument and its surroundings were partially restored. The surrounding alleys have been renovated and some trees have been cut down. Instead, new oaks were planted to commemorate pre-war Białystok officials murdered in Katyn.

Broken bridge in Kruszewo is primarily peace and rest from the bustle of the city. The beautiful view from the vantage point of the Narew river backwaters is breathtaking. You can stand here and gaze at the endless landscape for hours. You'll meet here tourists with binoculars, fishing rods and and both can count on abundant hunting. The vast, wet area is a refuge for many species of birds, which will delight ornithologists, while the river itself allows anglers for a good catch. The Broken Bridge observation point in Kurów is visited by numerous cyclists. From the tollgates of Białystok we are within 17 km. It is worth considering this option, mainly because of the route rarely frequented by cars.
