Welcome to Roztocze! You will wake up here in a comfortable bed with a view of the forest, rest in a hammock, read books, drink coffee on the pine steps or sit on a cool evening by the fire. Around us we have the forests of the Solska Forest and the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, i.e. even more fragrant forests, to this field to the horizon, meandering rivers and silence like sown with poppy seeds.
It is worth going kayaking on the Paary-Rebizanty section. You will see a beautiful landscape of fallen trees, beaver dams, forests, tobacco fields and meadows.
Cycling and hiking trails are also an interesting way to explore the area. One of the most famous sections of the Szumów trail is the route from the car park in Rebizanty along the river to the clearing next to the shop with the graceful name "Gargamel". During the walk, you can admire the main attraction of the region - rock thresholds on the Tanew River, forming picturesque cascades. From the sound of falling water, they call them "noises" or "shypots".
Roztocze has its own small (sometimes pre-war) vineyards, so it is worth trying local grapes.
In Roztocze there is a belt of Soviet fortifications (Line of Molotov Bunkers) - along the former demarcation line with the Third Reich. Most bunkers can be entered, but you need the right equipment and knowledge. To see some of them, we recommend a hike to the highest peak in the area: Wielki Dział.
Beer lovers will be interested in the building of the Brewery in Zwierzyniec founded by Stanisław Kostka Zamoyski at the beginning of the 19th century. At first, English porter-type beer was brewed in the buildings. Currently, Zwierzyniec beer is brewed in the brewery, which can be tasted in the bar located on the premises of the plant. In Zwierzyniec there is also an ideal place for swimming and walking - Stawy Echo, located among the forests. There is a wooden footbridge around them, and a sandy beach by the shore.
Right next to the Ukrainian border, in Radruż, there is the most beautiful church complex in Poland from 1583 (on the UNESCO list). There is a wooden church of St. st. Paraskeva. Bełżec, Tomaszów Lubelski, Krasnobród and Górecko Kościelne should also be on your list if you like to see wooden, historic buildings.
Even if you have never tried cross-country skiing, being in our area, you definitely should. Tomaszów Lubelski is the capital of cross-country skiing in the Lubelskie Voivodeship, and cross-country skiing is one of the most intuitive sports disciplines, so even the most resistant ones should be able to handle it.
