Witold Pielecki Memorial

Highlight • Monument

The board has the surname Pielecki and, in addition, the name Witold. This is not a mistake, because you could think so and confuse him with Witold Pilecki. That is why I am explaining that Witold Pielecki, pseudonym "Żwirko", was born in 1918 in Kalety (currently Belarus). He volunteered for the army and became an artillery corporal. In September 1939, he fought as a non-commissioned officer in the ranks of the 29th Light Artillery Regiment. He took part in the defense of Warsaw. After the capitulation, he was taken prisoner by the Germans, from which he soon escaped and came to the Suwałki region. He created a partisan unit that became famous for many daring actions against the occupiers.
He was killed on April 25, 1944 during an ambush on German gendarmes in the village of Mikaszówka near Sejny. He was awarded the Cross of Valor and the Silver Cross of Merit with Swords and posthumously the Order of Virtuti Militari and promoted to the rank of lieutenant.

Paniewo Lock

Highlight • Monument

It is fun to see this beautiful lock, built partly in wood, working. Especially when kayakers use it.

Gorczyca Lock

Highlight • Monument

Gorczyca Lock - It is located on the 57th kilometer of the canal, in the village of the same name, on the Orlewo Canal. There is a bridge over the lock, so there is no problem in finding it.
