The Czartowe Pole Reserve is one of the most picturesque parts of Roztocze, located on the Sopot River, on the border of the Józefów and Susiec communes. It delights with the natural landscape of the valley with numerous water rapids, steep slopes covered with forest and rare plants. In the area you will see the ruins of the 17th-century Zamoyski paper mill and symbolic graves of partisans. The reserve is open to tourists - a nature trail about 1 kilometer long with wooden footbridges leads through it. Right next to it is the Green Velo parking place with shelters and stands where you can attach a bike.

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.

The first wooden chapel was built in this place in 1668 from the foundation of Marcin Zamoyski, the Lviv Sub-Stole, later the Grand Treasurer of the Crown. From 1688 to 1886 under the administration of the Franciscans. In 1720, it was re-endowed by Tomasz Józef Zamoyski, the starost of Grodecki and Płoskirów, probably with the simultaneous construction of a new church or the expansion of the original chapel. It was burned down by the Swedes in the 18th century. The current church was built in 1768 from the foundation of Jan Jakub Zamoyski, later the voivode of Podolia. In 1778, it was consecrated by Bishop Melchior Jan Kochnowski. Extended on the northern side in the years: 1897-8. Thoroughly renovated before 1930, and in 1975 the roof was renovated.

The Zwierzyniec Brewery is a historic brewery from the early 19th century located in Zwierzyniec. The owner of the plant is the State Treasury, and the lessee – Perła – Browary Lubelskie. The brewery in Zwierzyniec was founded as part of the Zamoyski Family Fee Tariff by Stanisław Kostka Zamoyski at the beginning of the 19th century. The first buildings, which included a single-storey brewing plant, cellars, warehouses, a cooperage and a coach house, were built in 1805–1806 on the site of the former Zamoyski residence. The masonry work was supervised by master Grzegorz Szostakiewicz, and the Scottish brewer John McDonald was responsible for starting beer production. In 1806–1810, English porter-type beer was brewed there. In 1810, the brewery burned down. However, it was quickly rebuilt from the destruction. In 1834–1836, it was expanded and modernized. At that time, it was equipped with a steam engine, and a mill for grinding malt was set up in the new wing. From the 1840s, the plant was leased by the Zamość Estate. In the years 1866–1878, it suspended operations. Most of its equipment was sold. In 1878, after another expansion and the purchase of new equipment, it was reopened.
