The best city hikes and walks around Krasnystaw

Well-kept place. Lots of pubs.

The gravel road running along the Wieprz and Żółkiewka rivers in Krasnystaw is a picturesque 2-kilometer route, ideal for cyclists looking for peaceful routes close to nature. The route leads through charming riverside areas, where you can admire meadows and oxbow lakes, and with a bit of luck, water birds. The gravel surface is suitable for bikes with slightly wider tires due to loose stones in places. About halfway along the route, you will see the place where the Żółkiewka flows into the Wieprz.

Church of St. Francis Xavier in Krasnystaw.

A route with a nice surface, a nice view of the river from the embankment over the Wieprz.

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]
