    Mountain biking

    In the Suwałki Region, you'll find both brick shrines in the form of pillars with niches for figurines, as well as rare cabinet shrines hung from trees and crosses made of unusual materials (e.g., cannon barrels). Besides images of Christ and Mary, figures of St. John of Nepomuk (protecting against floods), St. Florian, and St. Agatha are popular here. They were placed as votive offerings for salvation from epidemics, wars, or natural disasters, and also at crossroads to guide the way and protect travelers.
