Easy hikes and walks around Lake Samińskie

The highest point in the area.

On December 25, 2020, an unknown perpetrator set fire to the Oak, which collapsed weakened. I have attached pics from 2019 when I last saw him grow. I feel a special sentiment for this place, because as a few years old I listened to stories about this tree and its importance for the local residents from the mouth of my saint. in memory of my grandfather, who was a forester in nearby Klonów. The first four years of my life I grew up with him in a forester's lodge, and as a child I spent hours wandering around this area. And I will say this - you have to be a completely dull and limited pitcher to mindlessly burn a tree that has not bothered anyone for 500 years, where soldiers swore an oath of allegiance to their homeland, where young couples confessed their first love. Perhaps the realization of the hopeless stupidity, senselessness and irreversibility of the consequences of this act - if the perpetrator ever matures - will be some kind of punishment for him.

Church of Exaltation of the Holy Cross in Górzno. The first temple, built immediately after the establishment of the parish, was plundered and burned by the Teutonic Knights in 1409. The new wooden church survived only until 1443. Another building, more impressive, with a free-standing belfry, was destroyed during the Swedish invasion in 1629. The next temple was erected thanks to the efforts of the Holy Sepulcher Wojciech Ślęcki and survived until 1763. Two years later, another parish priest from Górzno, Antoni Januszewski, started construction work on the brick church, which has survived to our times. The construction was completed only in 1812, and in the 19th century the towers of the building were added.

Here grows the largest natural monument of the Górznieńsko-Lidzbarski nature reserve, the oak "Dąb Rzeczpospolitej".

The oak tree of the Commonwealth is a real giant. In the reserve, Jar Brynicy raises to the sky its magnificent crown and marks half the road between Górzno and Lidzbark Welski. It is also the center of a landscape park. The Crown of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth rises 33 meters above the ground. It is a pedunculate oak with a trunk circumference of 649 centimeters. Probably 500 years old.
