The best walks and hikes around Izbica

Church of St. Francis Xavier in Krasnystaw.

The Wodny Dół nature reserve is located in the Krasnystaw commune, in the Lublin Voivodeship. It was established in 1995 to protect the special landscape of the Giełczewska Heights, including picturesque erosion cuts covered with forest with rare and protected plants. In addition to the beautiful, dense forest, we will also see deep gorges that cannot be envied by those in Kazimierz. In addition, they are less known, so you won't encounter crowds here. A place really worth recommending. At the tourist shelter on the Jaślikowo side there is a map with designated routes and information boards.

Near Jaślikowo (near Krasnystaw) there is the Dół Water Reserve. You can park here, there is a shelter available and a map of the area with designated paths in various lengths. A place worth recommending and little known even among the inhabitants of the Lublin region.

Skierbieszów is a charming town located in Eastern Roztocze, west of Zamość. It is located in the center of the largest landscape park in the Lublin Voivodeship. It is worth seeing the historic church of St. Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the cemetery from World War I, as well as take a walk along the black educational and walking path Skierbieszów-Dulnik-Zawoda-Broczówka.

The Broczówka nature reserve was established in 1989 to protect xerothermic communities with rare and protected species of steppe plants, as well as a fragment of oak-hornbeam forest and luminous oak forest growing on an erosive slope. It is located in the Skierbieszów Landscape Park. It is a steppe reserve in which there are many protected plant species, including: meadow sage, Pannonia thistle, large-flowered anemone, dwarf cherry, blight, spider mite, gawędka aster. Next to the reserve there is also the Broczówka water reservoir.

Stryjowskie debry, i.e. gorges in the Skierbieszów Landscape Park. Debry is a local name, just as in Kazimierz Dolny the name "doły" is often used (Korzeniowy Dół, Norowy Dół, etc.). In the western part of the park, a nature and historical trail called "Stryjowskie Debry" was created, marked in red, which consists of two loops. The first one goes from Stryjów through the Kulig forest, the second one through Kryniczki and the Zabytów forest and next to the Saint spring. Jan Nepomucen. A very pleasant and well-marked path (renovated in 2019).

Ruins of the Smorczewski palace complex from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. In 1879, Medard Adolf Smorczewski purchased an estate in Stryjów, where he expanded the existing manor house, transforming it into a neo-Gothic palace. After his death, he passed it on to his son Feliks, who expanded the estate with new buildings and a complex of ponds. The palace was distinguished by a tower with the coats of arms of Rawicz, Smorczewski and Leszczyński, and an eastern porch with a balcony. The interior finishing was taken care of, and the palace was decorated with colorful fabrics, parquet floors and Neo-Renaissance reliefs. After World War I, a Neo-Romanesque cemetery chapel was built in the park. After the death of Count Feliks in 1943 and the subsequent emigration of the family after the war, the palace underwent various changes, including: in the 1970s it became a school, and in the late 1980s it passed into private hands. The planned recreation center was not built, and the building returned to the heirs, falling into ruin. Today, the remains of the palace retain part of the original structure and facade.

Krasnystaw. Church of St. Francis Ksawery designed by Jan Delamars, built at the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries. Recently, during renovation works, rich decorations on the front façade were discovered. The polychromes were uncovered and restored.
