Somewhat hidden in the forest and off the path are the ruins of the former Toepffer family palace. A staircase, the remains of columns, and a few other relics are still there, giving an idea of the size of the property. The building likely had a very high standard of furnishings for its time.

An easily accessible vantage point offering a wonderful panoramic view of Szczecin. The open area in front of the vantage point also offers numerous seating areas and barbecue facilities.

The building was built in 1906 on the hills of the Beech Forest near the Szczecin "Stern" cement factory. It was built by Helmut Toepffer, grandson of the founder of the Stern cement plant and the Katherinen Kreidegrub mine. Due to its location, the palace was nicknamed "Parkhaus." The residence had 30 rooms, not including utility rooms such as the kitchen and pantries. In addition to two master bedrooms and dressing rooms, the second floor contained nine guest rooms and bathrooms. The house also included a smoking room, a writing room for the ladies, a study, a winter garden, a billiards room, an East Asian-style room, and an extensive library with approximately 5,000 volumes. At the rear of the building, half of the hill was removed to accommodate an extension, which was intended to house the museum's art collection. The Renaissance Hall measured 8 meters high, 12 meters wide, and 24 meters long. The palace was brimming with art collections, and the interiors were crafted from luxurious materials. For example, the Asian room featured leopard skins, a statue of the Buddha on a lotus pedestal, and hand-painted, two-piece screens made of East Asian silk. In the dining room, the ceiling and walls were paneled with East Asian teak. The paneling featured copies of beautiful street scenes painted by the famous Spaniard Bartolomé Esteban Murillo. The large dining table, chairs, and sideboards were all made of the same wood. The palace's art collections include hundreds of volumes (often rare, long-standing, or leather-covered), and a marble copy of Michelangelo's "Moses" statue. The entire complex survived the air raids on Szczecin intact, but was looted and devastated by Russian troops. In later years, it continued to deteriorate, undeveloped and dismantled by "collectors" of building materials and timber. Today, the only remains are the Stairs leading to the Renaissance Hall where the statue of Moses stood, and scattered elements of the palace's concrete columns, as well as fragments of cornices with carved architectural details.

A former chalk and marl mine operated by the nearby "Stern" Portland cement factory, founded in 1862 and owned by the Toepffer family. In 1925, a sudden flood of groundwater through a layer of permeable sand led to the quarry's opening. The quarry quickly filled with water. People were immediately evacuated. The quarry was flooded. Emerald Lake was created, which owes its color and name to the high calcium carbonate content in the water and the reflection of light from the chalk bed. In good weather, railway wagons and even workers' tools can still be seen at the bottom of the lake. A concrete bridge, part of the railway track used to transport chalk output to the nearby cement plant, still stands near the lake today.

The Groński boulder is an erratic boulder: a colossus. It has been a natural monument since 1956. And who was Groński? Stanisław Groński was a Polish mountaineer and a pioneer of tourism in the Szczecin region, as you will learn from the information placed on the boulder itself. Mr. Groński died a tragic death during an expedition to Mont Blanc in 1957.

The Heart Boulder, also known as the Mill Stone, is an erratic. Made of granite, its shape resembles a heart. It is entered in the register of natural monuments. It is also colossal in terms of size: impressive dimensions: circumference 14.5 m, and length over 4 m.

Two shelters and a place for a bonfire next to the gas thrower called "Heart of the Forest". Easy access by car means that on nice days there are always a lot of people here.

Groński's boulder was protected as a natural monument in 1956. Previously, it was called the Aleksander Świętochowski Stone or Bolkowy Głaz, in honour of Bolesław Krzywousty. The boulder is 1235 cm in circumference, 450 cm long and about 150 cm high. It also has a hole for placing an explosive charge. In 1959, a plaque was placed on the boulder with the inscription "In memory of Stanisław Groński, a leading Polish mountaineer, a pioneer of tourism in the Szczecin Region. He died in the Mount Blanc massif in August 1957." Stanisław Groński was a very colourful character. He was passionate about the mountains, which was partly due to his origins. He was the son of a Tatra juhas. He went on many expeditions to the Alps and the Atlas Mountains in Morocco. During World War II, he supported partisans from the Polish Underground State. Later, fate brought him to Szczecin. He settled there with his family. Even though he worked for the Polish State Railways, he was completely absorbed by local studies. He became an expert and a bard of Western Pomerania. He never forgot about the mountains, and they never forgot about him. He died in 1957 while traversing Mont Blanc. The boulder bearing his name in the Bukowa Forest is not the only one. His memory was also honored with symbolic plaques in the Julian Alps, at the Tatra Symbolic Cemetery near Osterwa and at the cemetery in Chamonix.
