Budy Grabskie. Curiosity. Roadside cross from the barrel of the German 88 mm Pak 43/41 anti-tank gun. After the Second World War, many chapels and crosses were built from wrecks scattered across the fields.

At the crossroads on the bend, already within the Buda glade, stands a peculiar gray-blue roadside cross. Its base is a vertically placed, beautifully preserved cannon barrel with a lock! The cross with the figure of the Lord Jesus was placed in the muzzle of a German 88 mm cannon, the famous eighty-eight, one of the most effective weapons of World War II. In the place where it stands, in the winter of 1945, there was a German artillery position. At dawn on January 17 of that year, a Soviet tank destroyed the German cannon. The residents of Budy pulled the barrel out of the wreck and erected a roadside cross. It is not affected by corrosion, the cannon steel is of excellent quality.
