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/
