Another installation. The place is completely surrounded by trees, so we had to go very high up to get a connection that allows comfortable

A small ditch in the . Now trying to confirm what I heard – that this used to be a small river, Mietułka, which formed the border between Poland and Lithuania a couple of centuries ago. Now just a ditch.
