Full name of the monument: "To those who gave their lives to Poland 1939-1989". The monument was rebuilt after the end of the socialist system in Poland, supplementing the brick base with a stylized sculpture made of metal and expanding the list of victims to include the period of the so-called People's Republic of Poland. During this period (1944-1989), the socialist authorities proclaimed slogans of progress, equal rights, and the power of the working people of cities and villages, and quietly tortured and murdered their opponents who did not agree to the subordination of Poland to the Soviet Union, deprivation of private property, and harassment of the Church.

The facility with a small garden is located in the corner of the Market Square, above the Town Hall. It mainly offers ice cream from a vending machine, of various types. On hot days, you can find some shade in this part of the Market Square, near the tenement houses. Plus, there's no busy road running through this corner, so it's quieter here. WW

He supported workers, said masses for the homeland, which made him a victim of the communist propaganda apparatus, and then he was brutally murdered by officers of the state Security Service in 1984. Being next to this monument today, I did not know that on this day - June 6, is the fourteenth anniversary of the beatification of Fr. Jerzy Popiełuszko. WW

The Brzozów-Zdrój nature and educational trail offers an easy route through a forest with a diverse species composition, including: oaks, sycamores, firs, larches, pines and ash alder forests. At the beginning of the path there is a parking lot, a large shelter, a fireplace and benches. The path has 14 educational stops presenting various aspects of the forest, from habitats to tree forms. An interesting fact is the connection with oil exploration, when mineral waters were discovered instead. Despite the destruction of the two-story spa house during World War II, traces have been preserved in the form of ruins of foundations, wells and remains of parks. The path is worth visiting all year round, especially in spring and autumn.
