The best city hikes and walks around Biłgoraj

An interesting monument commemorating Poles who died during the January Uprising of 1863—in this case, those killed in the Battle of Panasówka. Right on Biłgorajska Street, it's hard to miss.

A wonderful pond in the center of Zwierzyniec. The pond features islands—one is home to the Church on the Water of St. John of Nepomuk, and the other is home to a Roman sarcophagus-style monument. It's a wonderful place for a walk—it's worth taking a walk around the pond.

In 1593, Jan Zamoyski purchased the Szczebrzeszyn estate. There, near the village of Rudka, in the valley of the Wieprz River and the Świerszcz Stream, in an area covered with forests, he decided to realize the Renaissance idea of a "villa." He built a wooden, larch palace where he hosted distinguished guests and relaxed with his family. Early on, Jan Zamoyski also brought to the area gentle animals such as red deer, roe deer, fallow deer, and wild horses, also known as tarpans. These animals gave rise to Zwierzyńczyk and later Zwierzyniec. The summer palace was demolished due to its age in the mid-19th century and stood in the center of Zwierzyniec between two brick outbuildings – where the Woodworking School is currently located. Opposite their summer residence, Tomasz Antoni Zamoyski and his wife, Teresa Michowska, built a palace-style church in thanksgiving to God for the birth of their long-awaited son, Klemens. The Church of St. John of Nepomuk remains a major tourist attraction in Roztocze National Park.

The Church of St. John of Nepomuk in Zwierzyniec is a charming Baroque church built on an island in 1741–1747 as a family chapel for the Zamoyski family. The characteristic bridge leading to the church and the picturesque location make this place a unique point on the map of Roztocze. The interior is decorated with polychrome by Łukasz Smuglewicz and paintings in the side chapels, including a painting of the coronation of the Virgin Mary attributed to him. The building is easily accessible by bike – it is worth stopping for a moment and looking inside.

On one of the islands there is the church of St. John of Nepomuk in Zwierzyniec, the so-called "church on the water". On the other island there is a monument in the shape of a Roman sarcophagus, and under it - according to tradition - the favorite dog of Marysieńka (then Zamoyska) was buried.

A monument-tribute to the inhabitants of Zwierzyniec who gave their lives in defense of their homeland.

The buildings of the Zamoyski Ordinance board, classicist, erected in the first half of the 19th century. Originally, they consisted of a wooden palace, four brick and two wooden outbuildings. Only the brick outbuildings have survived to this day, one of which was added in the second half of the 19th century. This is the so-called "administrative palace", currently the seat of the Jan Zamoyski Woodworking and Environmental Protection School Complex. It is worth paying attention to the plaque commemorating the establishment of the unified Polish Scouting Association in 1919 (until then divided into separate structures operating within the individual partitions). Behind the buildings are the remains of a historic linden alley, the so-called "Marysieńki alley".
