Tips from the Community
Góra Cisowa, in fact a terminal moraine in the shape of a cone, a remnant of glaciation and somewhat resembling a volcanic crater, hence the unusual common name. From the foot of the mountain leads first a narrow path, and then quite steep stairs to the very top.

A stunning view (from above) of Lake Kolje (and you can also see Lake Perty if you look hard enough). Lake Kolje is surrounded by beautiful forests and the view here is like something from a postcard (although I don't know who sends postcards anymore!).

From this road between these two lakes there are wonderful views of both. A wonderful, picturesque place, with a beautiful contrast (especially in summer) of the green of the trees and fields with the blue of the lakes.

Great view from this viewpoint, right next to the main path. "Oz" is not the Wizard of Oz... but a hill formed by the deposition of sand and gravel. Great views of the area after climbing a few steps here.

A viewpoint in the Smolniki area, from which we can see Lake Jaczno. There are steps leading to the viewpoint.

Looking at the photo I would call this place a bridge rather than a footbridge, but that's just my subjective opinion. Nevertheless, the place by Lake Kluczysko is very nice, quiet and suitable for rest, but rather short because there is no "facility" for tourists, even TOI TOI.

The Cisowa Mountain is considered a symbol of the Suwałki Region, and offers a beautiful view. According to belief, the mountain was built from sand extracted from a nearby lake. The mountain took its name from a mighty yew tree that supposedly grew on its peak a long time ago. Geologically, the Cisowa Mountain is a terminal moraine with a regular shape. The height of 256 m above sea level makes it a wonderful place as an observation and viewing point. It offers a beautiful view of the vast hills, the Szeszupa River basin and several lakes. The Cisowa Mountain is located in the Suwałki Landscape Park, near the village of Gulbieniszki, which makes the area an extremely charming place worth visiting. https://suwalszczyzna.com.pl/info/miejsca/gora-cisowa
