On the mountain slope above Lake Myczkowieckie in Solina, you can admire a huge heart made of bushes. The heart is a symbol of love between a Polish woman and an Indian who chose the Bieszczady Mountains as their place to live. However, the woman died, and her husband honored her memory and made a huge heart made of colorful bushes, visible from a distance. The location refers to the photo you took. The heart is on the other side of the lake. https://www.pap.pl/aktualnosci/bieszczady-ogromne-serce-nad-jeziorem-dla-zmarlej-zona-nasze-wideo

It rises nearly 30 m above the so-called the dead bed of the San - i.e. the old bed of the San river, which flowed here before the dam in Myczkowce was built. This unique natural monument is located approximately 1,000 m below the dam creating the artificial Lake Myczkowieckie, near the Caritas center. It is a unique rock wall, approximately 600 m long and approximately 25-30 meters high at the highest point, covered with thermophilic rock vegetation that is rare in these parts. Numerous species of birds nest in rock crevices, build nests in this safe place and perform wonderful concerts almost all year round. They offer a wonderful panorama of Myczkowce (...) In the upper part of the Myczkowieckie Rocks there is an observation deck with a beautiful panorama of the area. The terrace is right next to the road and is visible from it. Next to it there is space for 3-4 cars. Source and more: https://www.twojebieszczady.net/warto/skalki_mycz.php

Brick Greek Catholic branch church of St. Saint George (Jura) in Myczkowce was built in the years 1910-12 in the Ukrainian national style. It functioned as an Orthodox church until 1939 and was an access church to the parish in Bóbrka. During World War II, the Soviet army turned it into a cinema. After the war, it was turned into a grain warehouse for a nearby production cooperative. After the warehouse was closed down in 1956, the church was renovated and from 1957 the building served as a branch Roman Catholic church of the parish in Uherce. (...) The church is made of brick, its walls are made of brick, stone and plastered. The culmination is a spacious dome on the transept. The facility is covered with sheet metal. The original furnishings of the church have not survived. The polychrome was made in 1973 by Andrzej and Irena Chojkowscy. (...)

(...) Currently, what remains of the building are mainly the basements, which are several dozen meters long and have arched vaults. The facility is to be rebuilt and added to soon. The stone granary in Myczkowce was most likely built in the first half of the 18th century. It was the only object that survived after the UPA burned down the manor and farm buildings, including the distillery. (...) After Myczkowiec burned down, the cellars were a shelter for residents who survived the winter there. (...) A restaurant is to be built in the basement of the granary in Myczkowce, and in the wooden structure built on top there will be space for a museum presenting miniatures of no longer existing monuments in south-eastern Poland.
