These metal kilns are used for traditional charcoal burning, which for many years was an important part of the region's economy. They can be seen in various parts of the Bieszczady Mountains, where professional charcoal burners still work. The burning process takes several days and requires constant monitoring, making it an extremely demanding craft.

Boat trips on the Polańczyk port - Solina route take place every hour and are an alternative to the busy road and also make it easier to reach the neighboring resort without having to look for a parking lot. After sightseeing, you can also return by boat to the starting point. In the Polańczyk port, you can wait for the ship on benches near the port, enjoying the beautiful view of the bay and the vessels sailing on its waters. In case of heat, you can seek cooling off in the nearby fountain, which is a popular activity for children. WW
