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

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

Currently, the path is partitioned near Sosenki due to the construction of a bridge over the San River. The bridge is to connect Gajowa Street with the extended Sobieskiego Street and ul. Queen Bona. The above-mentioned streets are to meet at the yet non-existent turbine roundabout and provide better communication between the left and right bank of Sanok. After the bridge is built, the continuity of the bicycle path running along the San River will be restored.

At this point, I shot the video below, showing the beauty of a river flowing calmly through a deserted area. Residents of the metropolis, tired of the big city rush, can rest here. https://youtu.be/kVV9ZOulyyE?si=hAal466wxQwO45hQ

Driving along the asphalt road in the direction of the San River, on the section between the footbridge (Ulucz - Witryłów) and the beginning of the buildings of the village of Temeszów, in the forest section we come across a parking lot with a view of the river, which crosses the threshold at this point. When the water level is low, you can see a small island to the right of the threshold. Watch out for cars that speed up here at the sight of a longer straight. I almost witnessed an accident when such a senseless driver did not anticipate that a bus would appear around the bend and barely made it because the road had no shoulder.

In the center of Sanok, it is worth visiting the royal castle, the historic Franciscan church and the parish church. In the castle there is a gallery of icons and an exhibition of works by Zdzisław Beksiński. From Castle Square and St. Jana, there are vast views of the lower districts of Sanok and the surrounding hills, and the panorama extends to the mountain ridges above Solina. You can spend time in numerous cafes, tea houses, pastry shops, pizzerias, taverns and laundries. It is worth taking a walk along the cobbled alleys of the city park surrounding Góra Parkowa and using the viewing platform. In the evening, the SDK cinema at ul. Mickiewicz invites you to film screenings.

In the corner of the Market Square, it is worth visiting the historic Franciscan church, where you can cool down on a hot day. There are fountains in the opposite corner. During the revitalization, old trees were cut down, changing the character of this place from a park to a bare "Red Square", as some call it.
