A narrow causeway through the Sieraków swamp belonging to the Sieraków strict protection area in the Kampinos National Park. A very picturesque path through these marshy areas. It is worth protecting yourself against mosquitoes.

The path is approximately 3.5 kilometers long (one way) and leads from Dziekanów Leśny to the monumental oaks in the recreation clearing. The path has a forest character, initially running through a pine forest, and then through the Sieraków reserve - one of the most valuable areas of strict protection in Kampinos. The route is from Dziekanów Leśny - Zboiński's stone - Plapis' stone - a clearing near Stary Dęb in Posada Sieraków. You can return the same way to the parking lot in Dziekanów (or the bus stop), or make a loop, first following the green trail, and then the red trail, going around Bagno Sieraków.
