The region's finest views
At Smolniki several viewpoints have been laid out above deep trough lakes and rolling moraines. The view reaches far across an undulating, almost empty land — the picture that often stands for the whole Suwałki region.
What to see
- The viewing terraces — marked points above the village
- Lakes Czarne and Purwin — deep trough lakes
- Moraine hills — the landscape park's typical relief
- Walking and cycling trails — a junction of routes
