Dynów Foothills

The Dynów Foothills is a picturesque geographical mesoregion in southern Poland, whose name derives from the town of Dynów. This area borders the Strzyżów Foothills to the west, the Przemyśl Foothills to the east, and the Jasło-Sanok Valleys to the south. Characteristic landscape features include hills, with the highest peaks being: Sucha Góra (591 m above sea level), Królewska Góra (554 m), Grabówka (531 m), and Kiczora (516 m). The flora of the foothills consists of diverse plant communities, such as mixed deciduous forests, riparian forests, Carpathian beech forests, and fir-beech and pine forests. In 1993, the Czarnorzecko-Strzyżowski Landscape Park was established, covering 25,784 hectares of the most valuable natural areas of this region. Surrounding the park are numerous nature reserves, including the Prządki Reserve, which attracts nature enthusiasts. From an architectural perspective, it is worth noting the historic St. Nicholas Church in Domaradz and the former Orthodox church in Węglówka, both testaments to the region's rich history and culture. An additional highlight of the foothills is the observation tower in Czarnorzeki, offering magnificent panoramic views of the surrounding area. Besides its natural attractions, the region also boasts rich cultural traditions, visible in its sacred architecture and unique local customs. The Dynów Foothills is an area of great historical significance, attracting tourists with its unique atmosphere and remarkable sites that tell the story and traditions of its inhabitants.
