The 34-meter high tower, due to its octagonal shape, has become one of the most characteristic tourist attractions of Stańczyk.
In Stańczyki and in Pobłębie, two 20-meter observation towers have been officially put into use. From the terrace situated at a height of 15 meters above the ground, there are views of the beautiful postglacial landscapes. From the tower in Stańczyki you can see the tombstone lakes of Tobellus, the gorge of the Błędzianki valley and the famous historic railway bridges. From the second tower you can see, among other things, Lake Pobłędzie and the panorama of the Romincka Forest. Parking lots and pavements were built next to the towers. Admission to both towers is free.

This little town has it all. It has the status of a spa town and is also home to a ski resort.

On the slopes of Piękna Góra (better known as Gołdapska Góra) a stone's throw from the town, there are five ski lifts. The town also offers beautiful green spaces. It is ideal for resting.

This time the main theme is bridges. The beginning of the up-down section and the slalom between the hills - extra. Then gravel roads and lots of bicycle paths. The obvious hit was Mosty w Stańczyki, and the less obvious one was their smaller version hidden in the forest, i.e. Mosty w Botkuny - an incredibly atmospheric, indeterminate, wild place. …
