The original cross, weathered by time, was moved many times. In 1982, the forester from Bachorz, Egon Raszke, commissioned a faithful oak replica. It is this object that was restored and preserved by park staff in 2010 and placed in its current, dignified location by the educational trail.

It stands directly by the Droga Pilska (a former route used as a cart track to the settlement of Piła-Młyn). It is just a short walk from the famous "Bartuś" Oak (approx. 1–1.5 km along a forest path in a north-easterly direction), which means both these points are usually visited during a single trip.

The wooden footbridge over Lake Kacze Oko is one of the most atmospheric and photogenic spots in the Bory Tucholskie National Park. This charming wooden boardwalk creates a closed loop around the entire reservoir, allowing you to safely admire the unique nature up close without damaging the precious and delicate ecosystem.

Right by the promenade rises the characteristic, modern structure of the Otto Weiland amphitheater, whose roof resembles a spread-out white sail. This construction has a unique geometry – the curved stage screen is aerodynamically oriented to reflect sound towards the audience while simultaneously isolating the harbor basin from the noise of mass events.
