There are many Biebrza marshes here, in the vicinity of Carska Droga, but this Brzozowe Bagno here is particularly interesting: very green, wild, and with these beautiful Polish birches!

In the market square in Trzcianne there is an interesting monument to Józef Piłsudski, the first marshal of Poland. It is also a monument to the memory of all those residents of the Trzcianne region who gave their lives during the war for an independent Poland.

Here on Carska Droga there is a rather unusual road sign: Łosiostrada - slow down! You don't see something like this very often! I wonder if you'll see a moose too?

A beautiful observation tower overlooking the flat but vast marshy area between Goniadz and Wólka Piaseczna. It is worth stopping here and climbing the steps.

Great observation tower - and quite solid. Good views from the top of the area and its dunes. There are moose too! (Just wait... patience pays off.)

The old powder magazine of the Fortress, built by Tsar Nicholas II in the years 1882-1914 - its task was to defend the western parts of his empire. The vegetation that can be seen here is mountainous, which is often the case in such places. An interesting place.

Artillery battery bunker. Built by the Russians in 1912-1914, it is a good example of fortifications from that time.
