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.

To visit the cascade on Osława and see the beautiful arched reinforced concrete viaduct up close, you need to cross the barrier by the road and go about 400 m along the tracks of the closed narrow-gauge railway. Most of this section can be covered by bicycle riding on the left side of the track with caution, because it is narrow and the viaduct is in poor technical condition. The barriers are bent, rebars protrude from the structure in places and you have to be careful of your legs and bicycles. I absolutely advise against visiting at night! You can leave your bicycles on the viaduct and go down the steep wooden stairs to the Osława riverbed and walk a bit through the forest. This will allow you to see the structure of the viaduct from the bottom and the river bed, noiselessly overcoming large boulders. In this place, in the summer, some people lie on the beach, spreading blankets on the stones, and in the event of excessive heat, you can shelter from the sun under the trees. The Osława creates a meander around the ridge of the mountain, similarly to the San near Zwierzyń, where the fall of the river was used to build the Myczkowce hydroelectric power plant. Here in Osława there was also such an idea, but the investment did not come to fruition and the place retained its natural charm, which confirms the status of a nature reserve.

Beautiful river rapids, great view.

How to get to Kamień Leski This one of the most recognizable natural peculiarities of the region is located at the beginning of the village of Glinne, on the route from Lesko to Ustrzyki Dolne, approximately 5 km from Lesko. You can also get here along the green trail from Lesko (Lesko - Krysowa), or from Zwierzyń through Czulnia and the Baszta bicycle path. The place is marked, there is a small parking lot next to it. Kamień Leski (approx. 410-420 m above sea level) - is an extremely original monument of inanimate nature built of Krosno sandstone. It owes its bizarre shape to nature (erosive atmospheric influences) and the inhabitants of the surrounding area. In the 19th century, stone was mined at its foot. Two deep gaps with a vertical rock wall from the side of Glinne are still visible after the former quarry. Today, overgrown with a young forest, they add a special charm to this corner.

The history of the miraculous spring in Zwierzyń, which was the destination of numerous pilgrimages even before the war, is associated with a mysterious cross located in the local church. He came from the French Limoges, located in the Limousin region, hence this type of cross was called Limousine. At the same time, however, the term limousine enamels meant a special technique of enamelling, characteristic of this region. The cross was made in the first half of the 19th century. It is not known how he got to Zwierzynie in the 13th century. (...) In 1922, the cross was examined by an art historian and identified as a Limoges procession cross. Immediately - as an exceptionally valuable monument - it went to Przemyśl, where it is now in the Archdiocesan Museum. (...) After the inhabitants were displaced, the pilgrimage tradition ceased, but since 1994 the splendor of this place has been restored.
