In the Suwałki Region, you'll find both brick shrines in the form of pillars with niches for figurines, as well as rare cabinet shrines hung from trees and crosses made of unusual materials (e.g., cannon barrels). Besides images of Christ and Mary, figures of St. John of Nepomuk (protecting against floods), St. Florian, and St. Agatha are popular here. They were placed as votive offerings for salvation from epidemics, wars, or natural disasters, and also at crossroads to guide the way and protect travelers.

The Łopuchowskie Boulder Field is a picturesque reserve between Lake Hańcza and Łopuchowo, where seven amphitheatrically arranged terminal moraine ridges create a hilly, rugged landscape. On the steep slopes lie accumulations of granite boulders, while the depressions conceal peat bogs – a great place for a short stop with a view of the "glacial" terrain.

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.

Lake Hańcza is the deepest lake in Poland, with a maximum depth of 108.5 meters. It is located in the Suwałki Region, surrounded by the picturesque hills and forests of the Suwałki Landscape Park. The lake boasts crystal-clear waters, attracting not only anglers and kayakers but also divers from across the country. Cyclists can enjoy attractive, undulating trails around the lake, offering beautiful views of the lake and numerous erratic boulders. This is also the starting point of the "Poglacial Gully of Lake Hańcza" educational trail—a hiking trail approximately 10 km long that leads from Stara Hańcza, with its historic manor house and park, along the eastern shore of Lake Hańcza, and then through the Czarna Hańcza River valley to Turtul. The trail features shelters, campfire areas, and educational information boards.
