Zalew Żółtańce is a popular recreational area in the vicinity of Chełm, located on a small retention reservoir with an area of almost 47 ha and an average depth of approx. 2 m. Located in the Uherka River valley, the reservoir has a designated swimming area on the eastern shore, a jetty and the possibility of renting water equipment, which is conducive to active recreation. On-site there is a volleyball court, catering facilities and prepared places for a barbecue and bonfire. It is a good destination for cyclists who want to combine riding with relaxation by the water.

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.

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.
