DSCN2488 teaching point

French Mountains (Sierakow Forest District). In 1807 Napoleon troops on the move from Drezdenko to Sierakow could not pass through the massive dunes with their cannons. The wheels of heavy artillery sank in the sand. In this connection, the locals had to do the pits and put balks on a dune path. Since that time, the surrounding hills are known as the French Mountains. The information stands on the Lichwin forest road are seen in the picture. The path led me to the Napoleonic Track near the Springs.
