Memorial to the Soldiers of the Special Platoon of the AK 'Łużyce' Air Base

Highlight • Monument

"In memory of soldiers fighting in the special platoon unit of the AK "Łużyce" air base of lieutenant Tadeusz Gaworski, pseudonym Lawa. August 1944"

The "Łużyce" Air Base is the largest air unit of the Home Army. It was established in 1942 by merging several smaller units and was tasked with preparing and manning German airfields in the vicinity of Warsaw in the event of their capture by Polish units. According to the assumptions, the flying personnel were to man captured German aircraft, while the ground crew were to prepare landing areas for the transfer of Polish troops from Great Britain.

The special platoon under the command of Tadeusz Gaworski "Lava" was tasked with taking over the building of the former air force command at Puławska Street, however, a few hours before the W hour, the orders were changed and the unit - consisting of 65 men armed mainly with light weapons - was ordered to join the assault on Okęcie. After an unsuccessful attack on the airport, the platoon managed to break out of the encirclement and break through to the Chojnowskie Forests. There, it linked up with a unit of 85 soldiers gathered around the KGL operations officer Bronisław Lewkowicz "Kurs", who had been caught in Bielany by the outbreak of the uprising.

Highlight • Structure

Runów – passenger stop of the narrow-gauge railway.

The section of the railway line between Gołków and Grójec running through the stop was opened on April 10, 1914, but the stop itself was built in October 1949. There was never a station building at the stop. Until July 1, 1991, the stop served scheduled passenger traffic, and since 2002 it has been used for tourist traffic.
