Augustów

Highlight • Settlement

Certainly, Augustów and its surroundings are a place where everyone can find something for themselves when it comes to relaxation in the bosom of nature. I will not write about individual places here, but I will add mentions of specific attractions.

The Holy Place is located on the banks of the Rospuda River next to the Jałówka River and Lake Jałowe. There is a chapel built in the fence from 1990 and several wooden and stone crosses, as well as a large wooden shrine.

In fact, the sacred place is most likely located on the site of the former cemetery of the Orthodox church built by Bohdan Hrynkowicz Wołłowicz after receiving the grant of the forest - around 1514. It was patronized by St. John the Baptist - hence so many names related to the name of John in the area. Local people have been gathering in this place on June 24 for a long time. They prayed, ate a ritual meal, washed in the nearby Jałówka River, made offerings under the crosses - money and food, and tied decorative towels on them. As ethnographers explain, these rituals are characteristic of the Orthodox holiday of Jordan. Similar behaviors are seen in the Mińszczyzna region, where some of the population probably came from. Today, the holiday is officially sanctioned by the local priest.

I will only add that this is where most kayakers often end their trip down the Rospuda River, some continue on to Goła Zośka (a beach and a statue on Lake Rospuda).

A place for a moment of rest and refreshment before continuing the bicycle route towards Wigry, or kayaking on the beautiful and charming Rospuda. There is a summer bar right next door.

Augustów Lock

Highlight • Structure

Walking or cycling along the Augustow Canal is a wonderful experience. A peaceful environment awaits you here, broken only by the singing of birds. The second, equally magical lock, located after the first, forms an idyllic landscape together with the pond. A visit to this place is an absolute must, especially if you appreciate the natural beauty and historic engineering.
