The best running trails around Pniewy

The Łężeczki viewpoint is a great place to stop during a bike ride through Sierakowski Landscape Park. From the hilltop, you can admire a sweeping panorama of the surrounding area, including Lake Chrzypskie and picturesque hills. The viewpoint features a shelter with benches and an obelisk known as the "21st Century Mushroom," unveiled at the beginning of 2001 as a symbol of the new millennium. It's a good stop for both a rest and a photo op against the beautiful backdrop of the lake and forest landscape.

The initiator of this monument's erection was the Academic Senior Club in Poznań. The club was founded in 1963 by the Polish Students' Association and the Poznań Intercollegiate Branch of the Polish Tourist and Sightseeing Society (PTTK). Besides charitable activities and beneficial initiatives for seniors, healthcare, culture, and ecology, the Academic Senior Club also engages in tourism and local history. Members of the Club, wishing to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the establishment of the Sieraków Landscape Park, decided to erect a befitting monument within the park. The monument was designed by Jerzy Stasiewski and executed by Zbigniew Wawrzyniak, and members of the Academic Senior Club made it unique. This added value was the moment of its unveiling. It happened on January 1, 2001, within one minute of midnight. The time of the monument's unveiling was calculated by a clock monitored by the Astrogeodynamic Observatory in Borówiec near Kórnik, part of the Space Research Centre of the Polish Academy of Sciences. It thus became the first monument on Earth to be unveiled in the third millennium.

The observation deck offers expansive views of the village and surrounding area, including Lake Chrzypskie and the surrounding hills. At the center of the complex stands an obelisk-shaped monument, known as the 21st-century mushroom. The monument commemorates the 10th anniversary of the establishment of the Sierakowski Landscape Park and the 38th anniversary of the PTTK Academic Senior Club in Poznań. The initiative for the construction of the facility came from the Senior Club, the Chrzypsko Wielkie commune authorities, and the Directorate of Landscape Parks of the Wielkopolska Voivodeship. The monument was unveiled on January 1, 2001 (one minute after midnight). According to the inscription engraved on the monument, it is the first monument in the world unveiled in the third millennium. The designer was Jerzy Stasiewski, and the contractor was Zbigniew Wawrzyniak. (from Wikipedia)
