Walking along Bony Street beneath the Royal Castle towards Sanowa Street and the newly constructed bridge over the San River, on the left you'll pass a corner plot with a group of old trees. The area is fenced and inaccessible, but the trees are clearly visible. Bony Street is relatively new, so the plot in question belongs to Rybacka Street, which is invisible from here and runs beneath the Orthodox church and ends in a dead-end. More details are provided by the Central Register of Forms of Nature Conservation (excerpts below). "Data Form for a Natural Monument 1. General Data Name no name assigned Description Three small-leaved lime trees.

The official name of the open-air museum is the Museum of Folk Architecture in Sanok (MBL). It covers a vast area on the right bank of the San River, limited from the north by a high escarpment, on which the Biała Góra housing estate is located, and from the east by the forested area of the Słonne Mountains. A great attraction is the Galician Market Square, where various occasional events are organized, e.g. before the holidays. The open-air museum lives according to its own calendar and is eagerly visited not only by tourists but also by the residents of Sanok. On the open-air museum area, divided into geographical and cultural sectors, you can visit many wooden buildings and see their equipment. The resourcefulness of the residents of that time, who were able to live and support their families in very modest conditions, without electricity, running water, gas and so many devices that we cannot imagine life without today, is admirable. The oil sector is a separate attraction. To get a better understanding of the range of objects gathered here, it is best to use the services of a guide. WW

The facility is locked, but the keys are held by a resident of nearby Międzybrodzie, Mr. Kazimierz Gembalik. The telephone number is on the information board on the fence.

One of the most spectacular places in the Słonne Mountains near Sanok. Worth a visit, especially in good weather - then we can admire a beautiful view of Sanok and the surrounding area. Between the viewpoint and the Eagle Stone there is a tourist shelter - comfortable and well-maintained.
