Gravel Road in Mazowiecki Landscape Park

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

June 2023. It looks like they added gravel. It's a bit of rubble, but it's passable down to the asphalt road.

As we read on the information board, the shrine was erected in 2004 on the initiative of the residents of Karczew, and the wooden figure was consecrated on November 17, 2004. For over twenty years, the sculpture has welcomed walkers, cyclists, and all forest lovers, becoming a place for reflection, quiet prayer, and contemplation.
This representation holds a special place in Polish tradition. Christ the Sorrowful was one of the most frequently recurring motifs in roadside shrines. It is in such simple, forest and field nooks that one can most strongly see how spirituality, folk art, and landscape have intertwined over the centuries into a single narrative.
The author of the sculpture is Stefan Lisowski (1928–2010) - an artist and sculptor, also associated with Mazovia. According to the board, he was the initiator of the "Roadside Shrine" series of works and wanted to restore the motif of the wooden shrine to the Mazovian landscape. The Karczew figure is one such work - made from a single piece of wood.
This is one of those places that one can pass by without knowing its history. Yet, it holds local memory, beautiful tradition, and the trace of a person who wanted to leave something lasting behind.

An interesting place for lovers of the history of World War II. Regelbau 120a and Regelbau 514 shelters built by the Germans in 1940, which were part of the fortifications of Przedmieście Warszawskie.
