February 12, 2026, Czapielówka Observation Tower

Nestled amidst the forest, this reservoir with a beach and amphitheater is a recreational complex. In addition to designated parking areas, there are bonfire areas with benches. A pier with a large shelter runs through the reservoir. There is a designated area for playing volleyball. Restrooms are located by the beach. A path with piers runs around the reservoir, leading to an observation tower. Fishing is permitted in the reservoir for those with a fishing license. https://grupabiwakowa.pl/zalew-czapielowka-czarna-bialostocka

On the outskirts of Czarna Białostocka, nestled in a forest clearing, lies the Czapielówka Reservoir. A ten-year project completed in 1981, it is now one of the town's main attractions. Its location in the Knyszyńska Forest guarantees peace, natural beauty, and tranquility. Several access points to the water are available, including a safe swimming area by the pier, which is monitored by lifeguards during the summer. We recommend hiking or cycling along the reservoir's shoreline. A stroll along the picturesque path, sometimes through the forest, sometimes by the water's edge, offers charming bridges and the surrounding nature, providing a welcome escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. https://wielkilas.pl/miejsca/zalew-czapielowka/

Sanctuary in Sokółka with the Eucharistic Miracle.

The reservoir was created in 1942, during the German occupation. The workforce for the construction of this investment was Polish Jews. There are two versions of the purpose for which the reservoir was built: - the first mentions German soldiers-patients staying in a nearby military hospital, located in barracks buildings. Perhaps they wanted to create a kind of resort for them - according to the second version, it was related to the lowering of the groundwater level due to the drainage of the Sokółka marshes, which began before the war.

A place where you can hang out from time to time. Sometimes there are parties here. In the summer there is a small restaurant and this is where the most people are.

A place you must visit when you are by the reservoir. There is a parking lot for bicycles, a bench and an educational board near the tower.
