Local history and connection to the Osa River

A stone found in a field by residents of the Sołectwo Ząbrowo was shaped by stonemason Bohdan Lewczyk into a memorial stone commemorating the history of Ząbrowo. Its creation connects a specific discovery with a commemorative monument.

Old tombstones bearing the Polish family names Derkowski, Józefski (Josewski), Majewski, Rybicki, Kukła, Murawski, Jałowski, Granica, Tadzki (Tatzki) and Laskowski have been preserved in the cemetery in Ząbrowo; Kingerske (Kingerski) may also be among them. Alongside the memorial stone, these preserved family names offer another trace of local history.

Ząbrowo lies on the Osa River. A pedestrian bridge was built over the river in the village. The riverside location and the bridge add a connection to the landscape and a specific structure to the cycling routes.
