Kwiecko and Kamienne are the two large lakes in the village district; tourists and anglers are especially fond of visiting them. The viewpoint offers a different perspective on the landscape: from there, panoramic views stretch across the power station and Lake Kwiecko to the Radew Valley. In Żydowo, bodies of water, a view of the valley and a technical structure thus come together in the landscape, though they are not all seen from the same vantage point.

The viewpoint is located above the Żydowo power station, near the outlet of the connecting channel to the pipelines. For orientation, not only the name of the power station but also the precise location of the viewpoint is relevant. The panorama takes in the facility, the lake and the valley.

The early medieval barrow cemetery points to a much earlier period. It comprises 22 rectangular and round barrows made of stone and earth, in varying states of preservation; archaeologists date the site to the 11th to 12th centuries.
