The Orthodox cemetery in Wytyczno dates back to the 20th century and is distinguished by the tombstone of Father Michał Somik (d. 1909) and forged, metal and cast iron crosses. The first mention of the village dates back to 1450, and in 1769 a Greek Catholic church of the Holy Cross was founded here, which was demolished in 1938 as part of the government's campaign to destroy churches in Podlasie and Chełmszczyzna. The current wooden Catholic church was built in 1949 from a dismantled Evangelical "kirch". The Orthodox cemetery belongs to the parish in Włodawa and serves the small Orthodox population that remained after the displacements of 1944-47.

The Border Protection Corps Monument in Wytyczno-Łowiszów commemorates the battle fought on October 1, 1939 by KOP soldiers with Soviet troops. It is an important historical site, reminding us of the heroism of Polish soldiers in defending the country's eastern borders during the September Campaign. The monument is located in a picturesque, forested area, near Lake Wytyczno, which makes it an interesting destination for cyclists exploring Polesie.

Observation tower on the sidelines.

A pedunculate oak that witnessed history. The largest camp of the January Insurgents was located nearby. Stop for a moment to read the memories of one of the insurgents on the information board.

A wooden observation tower on the edge of the "Trains" meadows. Wait quietly and patiently and you have a chance to see a moose or a deer.

The "Insurgent Camp" nature and historical trail is an approximately 4-kilometer long path through beautiful, wild forests and meadows of the Polesie National Park. We will walk along wooden footbridges to the observation tower. The path begins in the village of Lipniak, where the largest camp of the January Insurgents was located. You will learn about its progress from the information boards. Remember that entry to the path is subject to a fee, you can buy a ticket at the Educational and Administrative Center and the Educational and Museum Center, as well as via the eParki.pl platform at https://poleskipn.eparki.pl/.

One of the two observation towers on the "Perehod" path. From the tower we have an excellent view of the surrounding ponds and typical vegetation. If you listen to the sounds of the forest, you can hear the characteristic sound of "blowing into a bottle", it is a bittern - a bird from the heron family, one of the inhabitants of this area.
