The path runs on both sides of the Tanew River and shows a fragment of one of the most interesting landscape reserves in Roztocze, the "Nad Tawią" reserve. The path starts from the forest parking lot, located on the Susiec-Cieszanów road at the beginning of the village of Huta Szumy, just before the bridge over the Tanew River (driving from Susiec towards Cieszanów). The route is marked in the trees with white squares with a red diagonal stripe. The length of the route is approximately 3 km. Tourists visiting this place are provided with wooden tables and benches, educational boards, wooden platforms with handrails, wooden stairs, waste bins and toilets. This is where you can see waterfalls commonly called "szumy" or "szypoty" and get acquainted with various forest complexes and other extremely interesting elements of nature.

The ruins are the remains of a once large industrial plant of the Zamość estate built in the 18th century. In the years of the Duchy of Warsaw and the Kingdom of Poland, the plant was leased by Lejbuś Kahan, and then Cała Wax - the owner of the Hebrew printing house in Józefów. In the 1830s, approximately 4,000 reams of paper were produced here, which constituted 80% of the total production in the Lublin Governorate. Over 9 types of paper, including wrapping, printing, office and stamp paper. Paper was made by hand, mainly from rags. An interesting fact is that it contained a watermark - the lord's monogram or the Zamoyski family's coat of arms. It is one of the largest plants in the Kingdom of Poland. He used the power of the Sopot River flowing down. The collapse of the paper mill was directly caused by floods in 1849 and 1870 and a fire in 1883, after which the reconstruction of the plant became unprofitable due to the enormous damage.

The wooden observation tower above the quarry wall in Nowiny allows you to enjoy wonderful views of the Solska Forest.

The quarry in Nowiny, located on the south-eastern slope of Krzyżowa Góra near the village of Nowiny, is a picturesque and extensive rock recess hidden in a pine forest, approximately 200 meters from the Susiec-Józefów road. Although it is currently closed, its two-hundred-meter-high walls allow you to take a closer look at the geological structure of Roztocze. From their top there is a panorama of the Solska Forest. The quarry was the site of Miocene limestone exploitation for many years. A characteristic feature of this place are numerous small shells, easily removed from the fragile stone.
