Ateny

Few settlements in Podlaskie Voivodeship have a history as closely tied to life in the Augustów Forest as Ateny. This small village in the Nowinka commune lies beside Lake Blizno, in lake-and-woodland country north of Augustów. The Augustów Forest is among Poland’s great forest complexes and continues toward the Lithuanian and Belarusian borders, giving the area a distinctly northeastern character. Ateny takes its name from the Polish word for Athens, a striking linguistic contrast to its rural setting.
