Przyroda
Land between Kraśnik and Lwów
The Roztocze region forms a narrow arch with a length of about 185 km and a width of 12 to 35 km. This highland range borders the Lublin Up-land to the north, the Sandomierz Basin to the south and the Volhynian Upland to the east.
Roztocze impresses with its breathtaking landscape featuring a characteristic mosaic of crop fields and wooded hills, intersected with deep gorges and river valleys rich in knickpoints, referred to as rapids.
Kultura i historia
Cultural melting pot and witness of history
Roztocze is a uniquely interesting part of the borderland between Western and Eastern Slavdom in terms of culture, which is reflected both in the historical sacred and secular architecture as well as in intangible cultural heritage (religions, rites, customs, folk art etc.).
Roztocze and the adjoining areas were often a place of important military operations and lesser war battles. Military cemeteries, single graves and obelisks as well as numerous monuments and memorial plaques testify to these events.
