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.

The bridges in Stańczyki, often called the "Aqueducts of the Romincka Forest," are among the highest railway bridges in Poland – 180 meters long and reaching a height of 36.5 meters. Built between 1912 and 1918 in a style reminiscent of Roman aqueducts, they were intended to be part of a major railway line, but the line operated only as a local route until 1945. Today, the tracks no longer exist, and the impressive structures have become a tourist attraction and a bungee jumping site. Situated on the Błędzianka River and surrounded by picturesque scenery, they are a destination for bicycle tours and a good place to rest. Admission to the bridges is charged, but the view and history of the site are definitely worth a visit.

The Botkuny railway bridges were built in the first half of the 20th century and were built in the style of Italian aqueducts. Their construction is related to the Gołdap-Żytkiejmy route. The viaducts connect the banks of the Jarka river valley. An interesting description can be found on the website: https://mazury.com.pl/atrakcje/mosty-kolejowe-botkuny/

The observation tower in Pobłędzie is a great stop on a bike trip around the Romincka Forest. The wooden and steel structure with a platform at a height of 15 meters offers views of Lake Pobłędzie and a vast panorama of the forest. The tower is located on a gravel road and on the Green Velo route. Here you will find a cyclist service area with a shelter and toilet.

The observation tower in Stańczyki is an interesting point on the Green Velo Eastern Cycling Trail. The wooden and steel structure is 20 meters high, and from the platform at a height of 15 meters you can admire the railway bridges in Stańczyki, the Błędzianka Valley and nearby lakes. The tower is accessible all year round and is located right next to an asphalt road, so you can easily get there by bike.
