This artificial grotto is unique in Poland, as no similar structures are known in Poland or even Europe. It was built in 1888 at the behest of Albert Eduard Toepffer, owner of the nearby chalk mine and Portland cement factory "Stern," and son of the factory's founder, Gustav Adolf Toepffer. Along with the grotto, a reinforced concrete arch was built, situated next to the concrete arch built on this site in 1880. Both arches, standing parallel, formed the foundation for the added pagoda-shaped pavilion. Both arches had the same span and height, but the newer arch, made of a more modern and durable material, had a cross-sectional area approximately ten times smaller. Both structures supported the same weight, thus emphasizing the innovative nature of the new construction method. The pagoda served as an orchestra pit for dances and balls held here. Neither the pagoda nor the younger arch survived to this day – they were dismantled due to poor technical condition at the turn of the 1970s and 1980s. The interior of the cave replicated natural limestone caves, with stalactites, stalagmites, and stalagnates. Inside the cave, there is a staircase that once led to the winter garden located above the cave. Until 2012, the cave housed a restaurant. Today, it houses the Szczecin Adventure Association "Za horyzont," which occasionally opens the cave to visitors.

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.

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.

Bukowiec is 148.4 m above sea level. and is therefore the highest peak of the Bukowe Hills, as well as the entire Szczecin Coast. The hill is covered with thick beech forest, so you can't count on any views. At the beginning of the 20th century, an observation tower was erected here. It has not survived to this day and currently there is a steel tower on the top, but it is only used for fire warning purposes. Outsiders are not allowed to enter it. However, it is worth walking west to the Zięba Valley. There you can find a monument commemorating Albrecht Rudelsdorff. He was one of the victims of the plane crash of January 31, 1935.

If you go to the Polish Baltic coast, you can take a small detour straight to the lake, just 15 km after the border of Germany - Pl podjuche exit, then the lake is directly on the right in the forest after a few km !!!
