An extraordinary wooden Greek Catholic branch church on the Wooden Architecture Trail. Originally built in 1660, although of course rebuilt over the years. Interesting fact: in 1984 the church was moved a few dozen meters to the east, and a new church was built here in its place.

The Pranie forester's lodge, known as Seehorst before the war, was established around 1880. It is located in the Piska Forest (Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship) right by Lake Nidzkie. It goes down in history thanks to the stays of the outstanding Polish poet Konstanty Ildefons Gałczyński, who first came to Pranie in July 1950. He came from Warsaw for the next three years as a guest of the then forester Stanisław Popowski. In 1952, together with his wife Natalia, he made plans to permanently settle in the area of Lake Nidzkie, which was thwarted by the poet's sudden death in December 1953. In 1980, the Konstanty Ildefons Gałczyński Museum was established in Pranie.

A small forester's lodge, lost in the Masurian forests, is known mainly for being the favorite place of stay of the poet Konstanty Idelfons Gałczyński. Currently, it is the artist's museum and a place of many important cultural events. The building itself is much older than the museum itself. It was built in 1880 as the seat of the local forester. The facility is located in the Piska Forest on Lake Nidzkie.

The Pranie Forester's Lodge is a climatic place located in the heart of the Piska Forest, right by Lake Nidzkie, known primarily as the summer residence of the poet Konstanty Ildefons Gałczyński. You can visit a small museum dedicated to his work and relax surrounded by forests and water, taking advantage of the intimate atmosphere of this place. In the season, concerts and literary meetings are organized here, which additionally emphasizes the unique character of the forester's lodge. Getting there by bike is very pleasant, but it is worth preparing for gravel and forest sections, so a trekking or cross bike will be the best.

Wooden Orthodox church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary built in 1921–23. The church was modelled on Russian churches from the Tver area, where the initiator of its construction, Father Alexander Avayev, came from. A characteristic element of the building is a large dome covered with an impressive, onion-shaped dome. The interior of the church, devoid of polychrome, is equipped with a modest, white-gold iconostasis with icons of various artistic value, from different eras. In 1995–96, the church was thoroughly renovated, and in 1996 it was reconsecrated. An Orthodox women's monastery operates at the church. It is one of three religious houses for Orthodox nuns in Poland. A small cemetery and monastery buildings also adjoin the church. https://mpk.warmia.mazury.pl/cerkiew-pw-zasniecia-nmp-w-wojnowie/

Polish Koniks live in reserve breeding. Horses born in the reserve, selected for replacement, i.e. the so-called herd renovation, spend their entire lives in the reserve and also die here. Old age and death are indispensable parts of life. Horses living in semi-free range breeding can satisfy behavioral needs that often cannot be fulfilled in stable breeding. Freedom has its price, and natural selection prefers individuals best adapted to life in the environment. Maintaining a population that is resistant, durable and can cope in the natural environment is the goal of conducting reserve breeding, in which human interference is to be limited to the necessary minimum. https://popielno.pl/koniki-polskie/
