My guide took me east of Augustow towards
the Belarus border – it is only 28 miles to the border. In 1689 paintings of the Virgin Mary were
brought to the Studzieniczan. The area is famous for
its miracles by drinking from a well on the island. The village is
called Studzieniczna after the healing well. This chapel was built in 1847.
Elk Chapel by the Lake at St Studzieniczna.
As you walk east, there third chapel on an island. This one is very small inside which replaced a wooden chapel from 1857.
Still on the island.
