Okopy
relatively small village founded in 16th century during the settlement of Nowodworce Forest, it belonged to Grodno economy. The name derives from burial mounds that the local inhabitants referred to as ‘okopy’. It is known in Poland for being the birthplace of a catholic priest and 20th century martyr Jerzy Popiełuszko. One can visit the house the priest was born, a stone with commemorative plaque dedicated to him, a shrine next to the stone. Two burial mounds near the village, a few historical votive crosses. From the village, we go south and after reaching the asphalt road we turn right. The town of Suchowola is in front of us.
