This short but historic hike takes you to a dark place from the past: the so-called Himmler Bunker near Pozezdrze in the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship. Hidden deep in the forest lie the remains of a well-camouflaged SS command bunker – built as part of the Third Reich's Eastern Front strategies. Today, only concrete rubble, thick walls, and sunken cellars remain as evidence of the Nazi state's power architecture. The bunker complex served Heinrich Himmler, the Reichsführer of the SS, as a retreat and command post during World War II. Together with the nearby Wolf's Lair (Hitler's headquarters), it was part of the military power center in the East.

Lake Kruklin is a peaceful and less frequented body of water located near Giżycko, ideal for cyclists looking for peace and close contact with nature. Surrounded by fields and forests, the lake offers several wild beaches and good places to relax with a view of the water. The cycling routes in the area are mainly quiet asphalt and gravel roads, so it is worth having a trekking bike, especially if you plan to drive around the lake. There are not many catering points on site, so it is best to take provisions, and in the summer also mosquito repellent. Kruklin is a great option for a relaxing trip off the main trails of Masuria.
