Discover Jabłońskie: Rospuda, Jałowo and Jatvingian history

In Jabłońskie, it is worth exploring both the nearby area and the wider Augustów municipality. Nature and history meet at the Święte Miejsce forest clearing; lakes, the Rospuda, waterways and marked hiking trails offer more ideas for planning your trip.

Święte Miejsce: Forest Clearing and History

About one kilometre from Staszkowa Zagroda in the village of Jabłońskie, the Święte Miejsce forest clearing lies on the Rospuda. It is considered a tourist attraction in the immediate area and is associated with the history of the Jatvingians. This also gives the riverside landscape a historical dimension. If you would like to consider culture as well as nature when choosing a place to visit, this location brings the two together: a clearing on the Rospuda and the memory of the Jatvingians. The approximate distance provides a useful point of reference from Staszkowa Zagroda.

Lakes, the Rospuda and Waterways

The nearby woodland lake Jałowo covers about 50 hectares. The lake and the Rospuda offer opportunities for water tourism and fishing. The distinction is useful for planning: Jałowo and the Rospuda are bodies of water for water-based activities, while a canoe route runs along the Rospuda and through lakes. At the municipality level, there is also the Augustów Canal, which runs through the Augustów municipality. The “Borki” locks are located in Netta Folwark and Białobrzegi. This lets you distinguish between a lake and a river, a canoe route, and specific lock locations when planning your trip, rather than treating all these water-related features as the same thing.

Marked Hiking Trails in the Augustów Municipality

Two marked hiking trails run through the Augustów municipality; the markings help you find your way along each route.

• The yellow trail runs from Augustów via Białobrzegi and Netta towards Bargłów and continues to Ełk.
• The green trail runs from Augustów via Białobrzegi, Gabowe Grądy, Komaszówka and Huta to Jastrzębna.

Both trails are marked, start in Augustów and pass through Białobrzegi. After that, they differ in their further sequences of places and directions: the yellow trail heads towards Bargłów and continues to Ełk, while the green trail goes to Jastrzębna. To compare them, you can use the places listed and the direction of each trail as a guide.
