The remaining area of the Budry Commune is an astonishing, stunning in its wildness forest complex called Skaliskie Forest, which covers an area of 8700 ha.
The majority of the commune area belongs to the “Wegorapa Valley”. The valley is crossed by the meandering Węgorapa and Gołdapa Rivers, which resembles a mountain river in some sections.
An interesting architectonic building in the village is the single-nave church in Budry. Historical sources mention the establishment of a parish in Budy in 1724.
The Brożajcki Canal connecting the Gołdapa River with the Węgorapa River was built as one of the sections for floating timber to the former Koenigsberg. It was designed in 1726 by Jan Suchodolec and dug in 1733.
A palace built in the first half of the 19th century in classicist style, the seat of the Contag family. A two-storey building set on an elongated rectangular plan.
The hydroelectric power plant in Ołownik was built in the 1920s by the Germans, who dammed up the waters by building a small weir.
With cyclists in mind, the East Green Velo Bicycle Route has been planned, linking 5 voivodeships of Eastern Poland. The longest cycling route in Poland is exactly 1980 km long.
It was built together with a parsonage and an outbuilding between 1903 and 1905 and belonged to the Protestant parish. After the war it was taken over by Catholics as the church of the Elevation of the Holy Cross.
While visiting Budry, you should not miss the old, huge, 3-storey mill with mill equipment from the 18th century.
