There are plenty of old Catholic, Orthodox and Greek-Catholic churches dating from the 17-19th centuries to discover and explore. They form a trail of wooden architecture, and you can find very interesting examples in Kwiaton, Wysowa, Bartne, Blizne, Haczow, and Komancza. The old wooden churches of Sekowa and Binarowa are significant enough to have been included on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Originally the area was settled by Lemkos, an interesting ethnic group that was largely displaced to other parts of Poland during the “Wisla” action of the Polish communist authorities during the 1940s.
