Tips from the Community
The oak's circumference was measured in 2018 and is 6.95 m. The oak tree grows near the Greek Catholic Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary (built in 1859). Its trunk is divided into three main branches, one of which is broken quite low. A significant portion of the bark is missing from the side of this branch, and the interior of the entire tree is likely rotten. The oak tree was designated a natural monument in 1980, along with another specimen growing in front of the church (with a circumference of 581 cm - according to the CRFOP database).

The viewpoint in Lutowiska is one of the most picturesque places in the Bieszczady Mountains, offering panoramic views of the highest peaks in the region, such as Tarnica, Halicz and Szeroki Wierch. Located on the Wielka Pętla Bieszczadzki, this point is easily accessible for road cyclists, thanks to good quality asphalt roads. There is free parking, benches and information boards describing the visible mountain ranges. In the summer season, there is also a booth with local delicacies, which makes it an ideal place for a short break during a bike trip.

The special character of the place is given by two centuries-old oaks, called Cyryl and Methodius by the locals, which according to dendrologists are 800 and 700 years old respectively. During World War II, when the German-Soviet border existed on the San, the Cyryl oak served the Germans as an observation tower.

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

A wonderful, scenic place to rest. There are benches, tables and a designated large fireplace area. But the best part is the view. You can see Połonina Wetlińska beautifully from here.

As a viewing point, this place is poor. The trees have already grown too high. As a place to rest, it is very good. We have a shelter with tables here. There is a warning in the shelter not to stay overnight because of an aggressive bear circling the area.
