Jabłońskie: Nature and Culture in the Surroundings

Jabłońskie and the Surrounding Area

Jabłońskie can be viewed at two different scales when planning your trip: Staszkowa Zagroda as accommodation in the village, and nature and cultural attractions in the nearby area and the municipality of Augustów. Lakes, the Rospuda River and marked hiking trails add to the excursion options. For planning purposes, it is helpful to distinguish the facilities at the accommodation from destinations in the surrounding area.

Święte Miejsce on the Rospuda

The forest clearing of Święte Miejsce is considered a tourist attraction in the nearby area and lies on the Rospuda River. It is about one kilometre from Staszkowa Zagroda. The history of the Yotvingians is associated with the forest clearing. This means that a named place brings together a landscape connection and a cultural-historical theme. If you would like to include history as well as the surrounding area in your excursion, this connection is a clear focal point. It distinguishes the forest clearing from the bodies of water associated with water tourism and fishing.

Lakes and Water Activities

The nearby forest lake Jałowo is about 50 hectares in area. The lake and the Rospuda River offer opportunities for water tourism and fishing. The approximate area gives an indication of its size; in terms of content, this topic sits alongside the cultural-historical connection between Święte Miejsce and the Yotvingians. If you organise your stay around your interests, you can distinguish between water and fishing on the one hand, and landscape and history on the other.

Waterways in the Municipality of Augustów

The Augustów Canal runs through the municipality of Augustów; the “Borki” locks are located in Netta Folwark and Białobrzegi. A canoe route follows the Rospuda River and passes through lakes. These are distinct points of reference when choosing excursion topics: the canal, with its two named lock locations, and a canoe route along the Rospuda River and through lakes. This means you can explore the municipality’s connection with water both via the canal and via a canoe route.

Marked Hiking Trails

Two marked hiking trails run through the municipality of Augustów. The yellow trail leads from Augustów via Białobrzegi and Netta towards Bargłów and on to Ełk. The green trail leads from Augustów via Białobrzegi, Gabowe Grądy, Komaszówka and Huta to Jastrzębna. Both trails start in Augustów and pass through Białobrzegi; after that, they differ in the sequences of places listed. This allows you to compare the routes based on their waypoints.

Holiday Apartments and On-Site Facilities

Staszkowa Zagroda in Jabłońskie comprises five holiday apartments. Family facilities at the accommodation include a zip line, a trampoline, a playground, a fire pit and a covered communal shelter. Bicycles can be rented there. For planning purposes, it is helpful to consider the accommodation and its surroundings separately: the holiday apartments, family facilities and bicycle rental belong to Staszkowa Zagroda; Święte Miejsce, Jałowo and the Rospuda River are attractions in the surrounding area. This allows you to consider which facilities at the property matter for your stay and which excursions you would like to take.
