Hiking
A war cemetery where approximately 800 soldiers of the Polish Army who died in the Kampinos Forest in 1939 are buried. There are also single graves of Home Army soldiers from 1942. The cemetery has the shape of an eagle taking flight and was designed by 2nd Lt. Tadeusz Świerczewski, Home Army soldier, killed by the Germans in 1942. In 1972, a monument to the fallen designed by Władysław Frycz was placed at the cemetery.
