A trace of the Old Believers

The Old Believers’ cemetery gives Blizna a distinctive cultural and historical connection. It is regarded as a trace of their community and adds a theme directly connected to the village to the activities available in the municipality. If you are also interested in the history of communities when you travel, you can include this aspect in your exploration of Blizna. The area’s history and its outdoor activities thus represent two different sides of trip planning: one draws attention to the community whose trace the cemetery represents; the other leads to the trails and water-based activities in the municipality. This contrast can help you decide more precisely what kind of stay you want.

Hiking, walking and cycling trails in the municipality

The Nowinka municipality has several marked hiking trails that form part of a network of national and regional trails. Walking paths and cycling routes also extend across the municipality. This gives you various ways to get around: a marked hike, a walk or a bike ride. If you are planning a trip with family or a group, you can decide together which activity best suits your plans.

Kayak routes and connected waterways

Kayak routes are also part of the Nowinka municipality. Local waterways are connected to the routes, including the Czarna Hańcza and the Augustów Canal. The routes are also connected to Lakes Wigry, Blizno, Blizienko and Tobołowo. These names offer concrete points of reference when planning water-based activities. Kayaking puts a different kind of travel at the centre compared with hiking, walking and cycling. When choosing between these options, you can plan your trip around whether you prefer to be on foot, on a bike or on a kayak route. This lets you organise the municipality’s activities according to your interests without combining them into a single excursion programme.
