Dworczysko – Memorials and Hiking Trails

Dworczysko connects two distinct travel interests: cultural history and hiking. The village has a memorial to soldiers of the Home Army (Armia Krajowa, AK) who fell in action, and marked trails pass through or lead from Dworczysko towards named destinations. The most specific are the yellow-marked trail through the village and black-marked hiking trail no. 5 to Ogrodniki. There are also views of four lakes and a named route that runs through several places to the Ogrodniki border crossing. This gives you different starting points when planning a stay.

Remembering in Dworczysko

The memorial in Dworczysko commemorates soldiers of the Home Army (Armia Krajowa, AK) who fell in 1943. If cultural history plays a role in your travel decisions, you can make this memorial a focus of your visit. It offers a different perspective from the hiking trails: here, the focus is on remembering those who fell; there, it is on routes and scenery.

Marked hiking trails and their routes

The yellow-marked hiking trail “Od doliny Blizny do Czarnej Hańczy i Kanału Augustowskiego” (From the Blizna Valley to the Czarna Hańcza and the Augustów Canal) passes through Dworczysko. Its full name mentions the Blizna Valley, the Czarna Hańcza and the Augustów Canal. This identifies the route both by its yellow markings and by its full name; its direct connection to the village is that it passes through Dworczysko.

Black-marked hiking trail no. 5 leads from Dworczysko to Ogrodniki and forms part of the European long-distance trail E-11. The black-marked route “Do granicy z Litwą” (To the border with Lithuania) runs from Dworczysko via Sztabinki, Krasnogruda, Dusznica and Hołny Mejera to the Ogrodniki border crossing. The sequence of named places makes the route to the border crossing easy to follow.

Lake views and help choosing a route

From black-marked hiking trail no. 5, morainic hills offer views of Lakes Pierć, Sztabinki, Dubielnik and Hołny. This gives the landscape a specific connection to the trail: in addition to its destination, Ogrodniki, and its place on the E-11, views of named lakes are also useful landmarks.

There are different options to consider when planning your trip. The yellow trail’s title mentions the Blizna Valley, the Czarna Hańcza and the Augustów Canal; for black-marked hiking trail no. 5, Ogrodniki, its place on the E-11 and the lake views are important points of reference. If you prefer to follow a sequence of named places, the “Do granicy z Litwą” route offers another way to plan your trip.

Before setting out, it is worth checking the current trail markings and conditions. The colors, trail number and full names give you specific reference points for distinguishing between trails as you plan.
