New infrastructure, jetties, a large shelter above the reservoir. Under this shelter there is a place for a bonfire and lighting. I saw a lot of sockets but I had no way to check if there was electricity. At the southern end of the reservoir there is a twenty-five-meter tower.

Dubicze Cerkiewne is a small town located near Hajnówka, known for its beautiful church and proximity to the Białowieża Forest. It is a good place to take a break during a bike trip, especially if you want to see the wooden church of the Protection of the Blessed Virgin Mary with its characteristic blue domes. In the area there are quiet, asphalt roads with little traffic, ideal for cycling, and in the summer you can also visit the Bakhmaty reservoir, where you can relax and cool off. It is worth taking something for mosquitoes, especially in the warmer months.
