Parczew Plain

The Parczewska Plain is a physiographic mesoregion in eastern Poland, located in the western part of the Podlasie Polesie, distinguished by its characteristic landscape. This region features alternating ridges of glacial till surrounded by sandy plains of accumulation, which is rare in this part of Poland, where sandy or clayey areas dominate. The Wieprz-Krzna Canal runs through the central part of the Parczewska Plain, serving not only hydrological purposes but also functioning as a transportation route. The most important town in this area is Parczew, from which the plain takes its name. Parczew is a town with a rich history dating back to medieval times, featuring historic architectural landmarks such as a 19th-century Neo-Gothic parish church and numerous buildings from the interwar period. The region is also home to traditional folk ensembles that preserve local folklore and crafts, representing an important cultural aspect of the Parczewska Plain. Another interesting feature is the area’s biodiversity, which attracts nature enthusiasts and tourists.
