The best cycling routes in Nowosielski Las

It's worth stopping here for a moment and looking towards Sanok and the neighboring towns to the northwest – Czerteż, Jurowce, and Pakoszówka. You can see the Sanok bypass climbing the hill (as part of the DK28 road) and above it, the only viaduct crossing the bypass. If a downpour approaches, you should flee this area, as there's nowhere to hide from the rain. The nearest point is the bus stop in Kostarowce. WW

The Sanctuary of St. Andrew Bobola in Strachocina is one of the most important pilgrimage sites in Poland, associated with the cult of this exceptional saint. Located in the picturesque village of Strachocina, it attracts both the faithful and tourists interested in history and spirituality. This place is of immense religious significance, with a history dating back to the 17th century, when St. Andrew Bobola was recognized as a martyr and patron saint of Poland.

The old wooden church currently serves as a funeral chapel – in the front of the church is a glass-walled cold room into which the coffin containing the body is placed. Conservation work is underway inside and outside the church. Two plane trees grow behind the church. The new church, built of brick and in the shape of a cross, is impressive in its walls and roof height, considering the relatively small town of Besko (population 4,000). This isn't visible in close-up photos, but can be seen from a distance: the ridges of the four roofs, meeting in the center of the building, are not horizontal but slope downward toward the center, where a concrete turret—a bell tower—protrudes from the roof. One might get the impression that the bell tower was so heavy that it caused the roof structure to collapse. WW The Wooden Parish Church of St. The Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross was built in 1755 and rebuilt in 1925, and the classicist bell tower dates from 1841. (Wikipedia)

The cult of St. Andrew Bobola in Strachocina began on May 16, 1988, when the Saint's relics were solemnly brought into the church and placed in a new altar dedicated to St. Andrew. (...) St. Andrew Bobola appeared in the Jesuit College in Pinsk 45 years after his martyrdom and said: I am your brother Andrew Bobola. And then he pointed to his coffin, which he ordered to be found in the basement and separated from the others. As it turned out, it contained a body preserved from decomposition. In Strachocina, an unknown figure of a priest appeared to parish priests in the 20th century in a similar way. Only after four years did Father Józef Niźnik dare to ask her the question: who are you? and what do you want? - and he heard the answer: I am Saint Andrew Bobola. Start worshipping me in Strachocina. First, he went to the Ordinary with the news he had heard, and then to the Jesuits in Warsaw to verify the "mysterious revelation". When it turned out that St. Andrew was so original in initiating the cult, further preparatory work to start the cult proceeded calmly. The figure that appeared stopped coming. (...)

According to the plan, on April 19, 2024, the pedestrian and vehicle footbridge over the Wisłok River was officially opened for use. The total cost of building this facility is PLN 4,606,648.64. (...) The new crossing connects two parts of Besko divided by the Wisłok River and will serve the residents of the commune moving on foot, on two-wheelers or by passenger cars to school, library, church, cultural center, nursery, sports facilities, commune and post offices, police station, shops or their own homes. It significantly shortens the route to the above-mentioned facilities and, most importantly, directs local pedestrian and car traffic away from the busy and dangerous national road no. 28. (...)

The order fulfillment time for two 32 cm pizzas and three teas was... 7 minutes! I don't know of any other pizzeria in the area where the wait is as short. The dough is made on the spot, not taken out of the freezer - as I suspected. The waitress explained to me that the dough goes into the oven for 3 minutes. The oven, dough and opening hours can be seen in the photo. We recommend it! 😀

The square is nicely lit at night, as if from below. Small architecture, benches, monument. In the summer season, next to the square there is an open ice cream stand from the Jagusia confectionery from Krosno. Scoop PLN 6.50, approx. 10 flavors. I recommend mascarpone with raspberry and coffee with walnut. 😀 Behind the square, on the same side of the road, there is an Orthodox church on a hill. Closer to the Wisłok River, on the other side of the main street (DK28), there is a sports and bicycle shop. Hiking tourists who do not have cars can reach Besko by Kubuś buses serving the Krosno - Zarszyn - Sanok route. WW
