    Golubie (German: Gollubien, 1938–1945 Unterfelde) - no longer existing settlement
    During the Germanization of local and physiographic names, the historical German name Gollubien was replaced in July 1938 by the Nazi administration with the artificial form Unterfelde.
    The village, consisting of a dozen or so farms, was located on the southern outskirts of the Romincka Forest, near the pre-war Polish border. In the 1920s, the Germans led a railway encircling the forest through the village (the route known from the bridges in Stańczyki). A train station was built in the village. Behind the village, from the east - towards Żytkiejmy, during World War II the railway tracks branched. The main track, pre-war, departed towards Pobłędzie, and an additional line went down to Lake Hańcza and the village of Błaskowizna. There are unique glacial boulders in the vicinity of Błaskowizna and Bachanów. During World War II, with this additional railway line, built with the help of Italian prisoners of war and Polish forced laborers, erratic boulders were transported e.g. for the construction of Hitler's bunkers in Gierłoż - Wolfsschanze. Railway embankments without sleepers are currently used as field roads and tourist walking and cycling paths.
    The village was one of the first German villages of that time encountered in this area in 1944 by the Red Army (3rd Belorussian Front). For this reason, it was thoroughly destroyed, and the civilian population of Masuria, who did not manage to hide in the Romincka Forest, was raped, beaten and murdered. The village was completely looted and destroyed. The remnants returned to the village after the war, but in the early 1970s they were forced to emigrate as a result of direct pressure from the USSR, for which the memory of the first pogrom was disgraceful. A few more tombstones can be seen in the old cemetery nearby. Some of them feature poorly visible Gothic inscriptions.
