On foot, the red-marked Nadbużański Szlak Pieszy runs from Kózki upriver via Mierzwice and Serpelice to Borsuki. The hiking trail has a named starting point, two intermediate places and Borsuki as its destination; for the cycling route, the link to the village is the variant that passes through it. This lets you first distinguish between the routes by activity and course. Before hiking, it is also advisable to check the current trail markings and conditions.

A wooden chapel dating from the first half of the 20th century stands on the southern edge of the village. It houses a figure of the Virgin Mary. Beside the chapel is a wooden cross set in a frame of fieldstones. Another memorial is the wrought-metal cross on a stone pedestal. Its Cyrillic inscription commemorates the 50th anniversary of the abolition of serfdom and links the remembrance to 17 February 1911. These details offer different perspectives on local history: the figure of Mary and the chapel’s design, as well as the material, pedestal and inscription of the metal cross.
