What do the church and lapidarium tell us?
The Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary is a half-timbered building founded by Ernest von Weiher in 1728. A load-bearing timber frame is the defining structural feature of a half-timbered building. There is also a small lapidarium on the church grounds with several iron and concrete crosses. Those interested in architectural and religious history can find two distinct points of interest here: the church’s construction and founding history, and the crosses on the same grounds.

The cycling route is listed as a 26 km circular loop—Cewice–Łebunia–Bukowina–Siemirowice–Oskowo–Cewice—and passes through Bukowina. The distance refers to the entire loop. Check local route conditions before setting off. Voivodeship Road 214 is also a useful reference point for getting your bearings: Bukowina is located on this road.
The Bukowina River runs nearby as a difficult and challenging kayaking route, suitable for experienced kayakers. Single kayaks are recommended, and the area below the weir in Skrzeszewo is a recommended starting point. Water conditions and access may vary by season, so check them before setting off. By comparison, the cycling route can be assessed by its stated loop distance, while the kayaking route calls for consideration of its difficulty, the paddlers’ experience, and changing conditions.
