Beata's bench was unveiled in August 2017 in front of the famous "Albatros" restaurant (built in 1962 according to a design by Henryk Gomółka). The bronze statue, depicting the heroine of Janusz Laskowski's song "Beata," was created by sculptor Michał Selerowski. The artist posed for the artist: Barbara Bujnowska, winner of the "Gazeta Współczesna" poll, who was chosen by the residents of the Podlaskie Voivodeship to succeed the legendary Beata. The poll was organized by "Gazeta Współczesna" in 2015, commemorating the 50th anniversary of the song's composition. The bench on which Beata sits recalls the story of a beautiful love that unfolded in Augustów over 50 years ago and resonated at parties across Poland for many years. The Beata bench project was implemented with the support and involvement of many institutions, including the initiator and media partner "Gazeta Współczesna" and sponsors, including the Augustów Consumer Cooperative "Społem", the British American Tobacco factory in Augustów, and the MPPB J.W. Ślepsk.

It's good that someone points out such places on the map. However, three identical photos won't make it more attractive than it already is.

In the immediate vicinity of the bike trail there is a footbridge with an educational board. At this point the trail is for a moment almost level with the lake surface.

A beautiful pier overlooking Lake Długie Wigierskie, where you could hunker down and forget about all the problems of this world. The entrance to it is through a small forest, where there is a good information board. One of many similar beautiful places - piers overlooking lakes - in this area.

A beautiful exit via a jetty to Lake Wigry. In addition, at the end of the jetty there is a great information board, or rather boards, about the (geological) genesis of Lake Wigry, including glacial activity. Very well done - not only will the lake delight you aesthetically, but you will also develop cognitively! :)

The very access to Lake Suchar Wielki is beautiful - among tall trees, on a charming wooden footbridge. The information board here says that in Wigry National Park it is the largest polyhumus (dystrophic) lake. It sounds very serious, but I have no idea what it means! What I do know is that it is beautiful here and you have to visit and relax.
