The obelisk was erected in 1931 by participants in the summer maneuvers of the Medical Officer Cadet School. Nearby are the symbolic graves of partisans who died in 1943 fighting the Germans: "Miszka Tatar" – Umer Akhomołło Atamanov and "Korsarz" – Hieronim Miąc, commanders of partisan units operating in Roztocze.

The Czartowe Pole Reserve is one of the most picturesque parts of Roztocze, located on the Sopot River, on the border of the Józefów and Susiec communes. It delights with the natural landscape of the valley with numerous water rapids, steep slopes covered with forest and rare plants. In the area you will see the ruins of the 17th-century Zamoyski paper mill and symbolic graves of partisans. The reserve is open to tourists - a nature trail about 1 kilometer long with wooden footbridges leads through it. Right next to it is the Green Velo parking place with shelters and stands where you can attach a bike.

The Church of St. John of Nepomuk in Zwierzyniec is a charming Baroque church built on an island in 1741–1747 as a family chapel for the Zamoyski family. The characteristic bridge leading to the church and the picturesque location make this place a unique point on the map of Roztocze. The interior is decorated with polychrome by Łukasz Smuglewicz and paintings in the side chapels, including a painting of the coronation of the Virgin Mary attributed to him. The building is easily accessible by bike – it is worth stopping for a moment and looking inside.
