Places of Power are places with a very large concentration of positive charges, which have a beneficial effect on the body. For humans, it is felt as a form of subtle vibration. Sensitive people, subjected to its effects, are full of vigour, rest faster and feel greater contact with nature. The place of power in branch 495 was discovered by accident in January 1993 by three people from Białowieża: Sergiusz Tarasiewicz, Borys Rusko, Piotr Bajko, who were looking for a small monument commemorating the death of a worker repairing the nearby Hajnówka-Białowieża railway line. It was destroyed by the Germans in 1944. The discoverers were enchanted by the positive feelings they experienced there. In the spring of 1994, the area was examined by the famous dowser and geomancer Leszek Matela. He classified the find as a so-called Place of Power. The radiation recorded here is significantly increased in relation to the surroundings. In September 1994, the dowser and bioenergotherapist Andrzej Ciupek confirmed the results of earlier studies. He classified the area as a place with a stronger effect than Jasna Góra, which he had previously examined, as well as its Orthodox counterpart, Święta Góra Grabarka. It is believed that it was a place of pagan worship, as evidenced by the cleverly arranged stone circle. A now forgotten legend says that in prehistory there was a hidden place in the Forest, where initiated people gathered to use their power and the power of stones to stop enemies approaching settlements hidden in the Forest. The glade is located in the Białowieża Forest District, in section 495. It is about 0.5 km from Białowieża. A trail of about 4 km leads to the place of power. There is a parking lot here and railway tracks unused by trains. During the tourist season, handcars run on them. e-pust.pl/pearls-forest/miejsce-mocy
