Sweetów Trzeci

Słodków Trzeci is a village in the Lublin Voivodeship, within the Kraśnik municipality, characterized by its agricultural nature and growing agritourism. Nestled in the picturesque, hilly terrain of the Western Roztocze, it stands out with its numerous ravines and abundant forested areas. The history of the village dates back to 1565, and its name may derive from bees producing sweet honey or from the fragrance of summer meadows. In the 19th century, the village was already a renowned beekeeping center, and during World War II, it suffered tragedy when German authorities imprisoned many residents, including resistance activists. Słodków Trzeci is home to historical monuments, including the Chapel of St. John of Nepomuk and a memorial to fallen residents, reflecting the village's rich history and cultural heritage. Natural formations, such as the sources of the Wyżnica River and a wild pear tree that may be the thickest in the region, are also of interest. Local traditions are noteworthy, including the preservation of old household equipment in agritourism accommodations, and the scenic landscape attracts tourists year-round. With its diverse terrain and the presence of rare species of flora and fauna, Słodków Trzeci is an excellent destination for relaxation and exploration of local culture and history.
