A cross commemorating the battle of the Jerzyki unit with the RONA formation near Pociecha in the Kampinos Forest on 28 August - 2 September 1944. Insurgent Special Units "Jerzyki" (POS "Jerzyki") - a clandestine military-civilian organization founded in 1939 by Jerzy Strzałkowski on the initiative of President Starzyński. It operated mainly in the General Government, conducting armed combat and civilian activities (including secret education, helping Jews, distributing the press). In 1943 it was subordinated to the Home Army. Some of the structures in Łódź came under the influence of the PPR, creating the PPP "Wyzwolenie". After the Warsaw Uprising it continued sabotage operations. Disbanded in January 1945. In 1987, the POS banner was awarded the Order of Virtuti Militari.

Makes a great impression!

Łużowa Góra is a picturesque walking trail in Kampinos National Park, located near the bunker of the Warsaw Pact Reserve Command. Built in the times of the Polish People's Republic, the facility was intended to serve as the headquarters of the communist bloc's military in the event of a global nuclear war. However, construction was halted in the 1980s, after the introduction of spy satellites, which made it impossible to hide such facilities. Today, all that remains is an underground hall with a sealed entrance, where seven species of bats hibernate, which contributed to the creation of a mural depicting a bat on the front. The trail leads through a beautiful forest, and one of the main points is a 200-meter footbridge over a dune, ending with stairs. Łużowa Góra is a walk that can be completed in about an hour, with easy access to the parking lot. With a stroller, you can only get as far as the stairs behind the footbridge, but the rest of the route requires carrying.

The Atomic Command Headquarters is an inactive military facility located in the Kampinos Forest, in the Dąbrowa Leśna region, near the Łuże dune, in the Kampinos National Park. It was designed in the 1960s as a command post in the event of a nuclear war. Its construction began in 1962 and work continued until the 1980s, when it was suspended due to the use of reconnaissance satellites. Due to the lack of supervision, after the facility was transferred to the National Park in 2004, it was gradually stolen. In 2017, the above-ground parts of the facility were demolished, and a bat habitat was created in the underground parts. In 2019, the area was made available to tourists, where an educational trail was marked out and information boards were placed. The facility is now an interesting tourist attraction, as well as a reminder of the Cold War era and preparations for nuclear conflict.

It was created to protect the dunes and nature. Unfortunately, many people walk on the dunes instead of the footbridge.

I was there, I saw it, but one thing surprises me, this place is not "alive"... total silence, not even the chirping of birds... I wonder why... maybe there are some devices underground that keep them away

On the southern edge of the village of Górki grew a magnificent 170-year-old pine tree, whose branches hung down to the ground. On these branches, the Cossacks hanged the insurgents who had escaped into the forest after the Battle of Buda Zaborowska (April 10, 1863) and were captured in this area. During the fight, the commander of the insurgent unit, Major Walerian Remiszewski, sent some of the unarmed insurgents into the forest. After defeating the unit, the Russians chased the escapees, and those captured without trial were hanged. A pine tree struck down by lightning on April 1, 1984 lies next to a small monument in the form of a boulder in honor of the Insurgents of 1863. Traces of the severed branches, from which commemorative crosses were made, are visible. Next to it, on a hill, there is a field chapel in the form of two wooden roofs-tents with figures of saints (by Małgorzata Tomaszkiewicz) and a stone altar table. The whole is crowned by a high wooden cross.
