Attractions and Places To See around Sanok - Top 20

You can't miss it. It's a beautiful piece of history.

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

Recently, asphalt was laid on the last missing section (counting from the observation tower through Dolina to the Sewage Treatment Plant in Zagórz) - I mean the short section from the barbecue area on the San River towards the buildings of the village of Dolina. The section where the bicycle route moves away from the San River and has the character of a local street, without the "pedestrian and bicycle path" signs. When driving after dark, be careful of the deep ditch along this street.

Little traffic on the route, good quality asphalt for a road bike.

In times long past, the Market Square in Sanok was an oasis of greenery in this part of the city. After the change of regime, the trees were cut down, and the Market Square was paved mostly in red, hence its name, Red Square. On hot days, the center of the square is unbearably hot. You can seek refreshment under the umbrellas where ice cream is sold, or by the fountain located closer to City Hall. Even better, stop by the Franciscan Church for a moment and find not only refreshment but also peace. WW

The pedestrian and bicycle path on the section from the Valley to the sewage treatment plant in Zagórze is already elegantly asphalted. The width allows cyclists and pedestrians to pass each other freely. The descent from the Valley side has a slope of 12%, and the slope is secured with railings to prevent anyone from slipping towards the river. For those coming from Zagórze, it is recommended to get off the bike and ride uphill. This is the only steep place on this section. In Zagórze, on DK84 and Dolina (at intersections), it would be useful to have graphic markings to make it clear where the path begins, because not everyone uses a map. It is worth avoiding the busy and currently under renovation DK84 road and driving along the San River, seeing beautiful views and listening to birds singing instead of the roar of motor vehicles.

This year, road works are carried out on the section from the observation tower over the San (and the passage under the railway line) up the San, i.e. in the direction of the village of Dolina. The trail of the bicycle path was widened and deepened, covering it with a keystone. You have to go sideways, away from the riverbed and on a dirt road through the field, until the road builders make a roadworthy surface. Note: when returning towards Sanok, at the end of the modernized section there is a 90° left turn to a narrow wooden bridge, a dangerous place.
