Tips from the Community
On May 10, 1964, after years of preparations, the official, ceremonial unveiling of the monument commemorating the victims of German repression and crimes at the Treblinka I Labor Camp took place. The author of the monument was Franciszek Strynkiewicz – a professor at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, who was the general designer of the entire spatial and architectural layout at the Treblinka Memorial Site. The monument in the clearing at the Execution Site refers to the execution wall in its appearance. It is built of blocks, the shape of which resembles drops of spilled blood. A recurring motif are four straight, vertical lines carved in the stone. They can be interpreted in various ways, e.g. as bullet marks or prisoner striped uniforms, although prisoners in the Treblinka I Penal Labor Camp did not wear striped uniforms. In front of the monument lies a slab with the inscription: "In tribute to the murdered". The entire monument is incorporated into the dark wall of the forest surrounding the clearing. On the path behind the monument there is a mound topped with a cross, which was built by school children in September 1947. It contains the bones of victims, which were collected at that time on the grounds of the former camp. This is the first commemoration of the Treblinka I Penal Labor Camp. The mass graves located in the forest surrounding the clearing with the main monument have been marked with concrete crosses. Individual crosses deep in the forest also mark other graves located there.

The famous Szumin appreciated the great contribution to the cycling, travel and photography community of our colleague Michał aka Powsinogi, that he decided to name a street after him! Heartfelt congratulations!

The Memorial to the Murdered Poles and the Memorial to the Murdered Sinti and Roma are located here. The mass graves were marked with concrete crosses, to which memorial plaques bearing the names of the murdered were symbolically attached.

In addition to the fishing grounds near Szumin, Wywłóka is a mecca for Mazovian anglers from the surrounding area. From the stories of anglers we have met, pike, zander, asp and perch are the most desirable fish in these fishing grounds (although of course these are not the only fish that can be found there). But fish are a magnet, not only for anglers who fish for them here at different times of the year, also in winter, from under the ice. There are many more people willing to fish in this fish kingdom, in the form of numerous species of waterfowl, including such ornithological rarities as corncrakes, curlews, black-tailed godwits and sandpipers. In the vicinity of Szumin and Wywłóka, one can observe almost exemplary effects of the meandering of the Bug, which leaves behind old branches and small "lakes". These areas are subject to flooding in spring; backwaters are created that facilitate the movement of fish. That is why it is here, on the "bużyska", as the old riverbeds of the Bug are called, that you can observe many anglers trying to catch the golden crucian carp, which they call the "Japanese carp", or the tench, which likes to hide in the mud, in small, often overgrown reservoirs.

Quite nice, just before the floodgate lock, but a longer stop - better to do it behind the floodgate, already on the Bug River
