Tips from the Community
A memorial site commemorates Marshal Józef Piłsudski's visit to Szastarka on August 1, 1923. The Marshal was on his way to Godziszów to visit his friend, Colonel Władysław Belina-Prażmowski. This fulfilled a promise Józef Piłsudski made to Belina-Prażmowski while still in the trenches during the Legions' era, that he would be godfather to his child. A stone with a plaque commemorating the centenary of Poland regaining its independence is located here.

"Polish Hollywood" in the Szastarka commune is an unusual tourist attraction - a white "Hollywood" sign has been placed on one of the slopes, which resembles the famous symbol from Los Angeles. Although much smaller, it attracts tourists and photo enthusiasts, especially those driving along the road from Słodków Trzeci. It is also worth seeing the historic churches and the manor house in Blinów, as well as numerous chapels. The Central Cycling Trail of Roztocze also runs through Szastarka.
