About the region

The Subcarpathian Voivodeship lies in south-eastern Poland, bordering Ukraine and Slovakia. Thanks to its natural and environmental qualities, Subcarpathia is one of the most popular tourist regions in Poland, especially attractive for the beauty of its landscape and the richness of its culture. The Bieszczady Mountains hold a special charm — a European haven of wild nature that draws crowds of tourists seeking rest amid unspoiled scenery.

The protected area of the region exceeds the Polish average by 20 percent. Nature lovers will find over 130 km of hiking trails within the Bieszczady National Park. The Magura National Park also offers unique flora and fauna — wolves, bears, lynxes, European bison and beavers are among the protected species here.

Beyond these national parks, Subcarpathia has 10 landscape parks, 17 protected landscape areas and 71 nature reserves. The region is one of the least polluted in Poland, with class 1 water purity, and thanks to a rich variety of mineral waters it boasts renowned spa towns such as Iwonicz Zdrój, Rymanów Zdrój and Polańczyk.

A major attraction of the region is its well-preserved sacred and secular architecture, including the Lubomirski and Potocki castle in Łańcut and Renaissance palaces in Baranów Sandomierski and Krasiczyn.
