Route from the Church in Pławna to the Observation Tower in Bruśnik
If you want to stretch your legs after driving, you can park your car near the church in the village of Pławna. From there, you have an easy half-hour walk through the fields of the Rożnowskie Foothills.
The asphalt village road leads you through farms right up to the tower. The route is suitable for a walk with a stroller. It is mostly sunny, and during our walk, there was little car traffic (though it was busier after Sunday mass). The distance is less than 2 km.

The road we walk on is the blue PTTK trail connecting Ciężkowice with Lake Rożnowskie (a long-distance trail mostly running on public roads).
