The Skierbieszowski Landscape Park, located in the Lublin Voivodeship on the Lublin Upland, encompasses areas of the Zamość and Krasnystaw counties, with a total area of 35,363.51 hectares. It was established to protect the unique natural, landscape, and cultural values of the Grabowiec Range, which is characterized by its undulating, hilly terrain and a system of ravines. The park's flora consists mainly of deciduous forests with a predominance of beech, as well as rare steppe plants, including several species listed in the "Polish Red Data Book of Plants." The fauna is dominated by rare bird species, such as the lesser spotted eagle and various owls. Within the park, there are two nature reserves, as well as numerous architectural monuments, including the late Renaissance church in Bończa and palace complexes in Surhów, Orłów Murowany, and Stryjów. The park offers numerous hiking and cycling trails, making it an ideal destination for outdoor activities. In the surrounding areas, visitors can find agritourism options and accommodation facilities in the cities of Zamość and Krasnystaw. An interesting feature is the geocaching trail "Arian Trail," one of the longest in Poland, with as many as 253 caches.
