The former Old Town Market Square in Chełm is today named after Dr. Edward Łuczkowski, a figure who, even though he comes from quite a distant past, can somehow impress contemporary lovers of bicycle tourism. Because we learn from the pages of the history of the region that the beginnings of the organized tourist and sightseeing movement in the city and the surrounding area are associated with the figure of Edward Łuczkowski (1865-1932) - a resident of Chełm for many generations, the local "Doctor Judym", an extremely dedicated and active social worker. regionalist. In 1905, he founded the Cyclists' Club in Chełm and, with a group of friends, he went out into the field, getting to know the beauty of the landscape and looking for traces of the region's past. After his strenuous efforts with the authorities, in April 1910, a branch of the Polish Tourist Society was opened in Chełm, of which he became the president. In this social one organization gathered the local intelligentsia, animating it with the spirit of love for the home country and arousing the need to know it better. source [http://cyfrowa.bpchelm.pl/Content/606/Z%20dziejow%20Oddzialu%20Polskiego.pdf]

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.
