Magnificent example of an early baroque aristocratic residence was refurbished in the late 18th century to become a lavish artistic salon, which played host to such famous guests as Louis XIII of France and Emperor Franz Jozef of Austria.

Unfortunately due to Covid-19 only 7 people an hour allowed inside so sold out by 12.30, so we just toured the grounds (pln 6 for 2 adults/2 kids!). These have some very impressive trees - plane, beech, maple, line, oak etc. and a very nice tour. The orchid house was shut but has a very pleasant cafe in the courtyard. The last owner of the castle (Alfred Potocki d.1958 France) left in 1944 before the Russians turned up. He loaded up 13 privately commissioned railway wagons with furniture and headed for Vienna and then steadily sold it to finance his lavish lifestyle. I felt the English-style park could be enlivened with more statues and a small herd of deer.

Can't remember how many times I have visited this place before, but every time I do it is like a new experience within those old wooden buildings. It is the oldest and largest open air museum (the Swedish word skansen is used in Poland to name such places) in Poland (there are older such places within todays borders, but they were established in places that didn't belong to Poland before WWII), set up just after WWII. The museum presents the folk culture of the the eastern part of the Polish Carpathians. Established in 1958 this museum has its head office in castle park in central Sanok, as both establishements: the open air museum and historic museum are combined into one unit. First time we visited it was in the early nineties, and the part now called Rynek Galicyjski (Galician market) didn't even exist, it was just an open field. Many many houses moved from their origin place to this museum plus three completely different orthodox churches (tserkvas) and one catholic church are on display. Also a wooden manor. There's also a part commemorating long tradition of oil extraction, as Podkarpacie region was the first in the world to make use of crude oil. Skansen in Sanok is definitelly a place one must visit.

Something to do if staying in Przemysl and well worth it. The arboretum is about 8 km frim Przemysl. The highlights for us were the museum with insects and wildlife (stuffed), the oldest Cornelian cherry dogwood (deren) in Poland (near the peacocks/paw), the peacocks, the lily ponds and the wisteria-covered pergolas. You can also buy some dogwood plants and some dogberry jelly (pln 10), also pickled available. Really enjoyed the visit (pln 44 2 adults/2 kids) around the 29 ha.

This is the highest peak of Polish part of Bieszczady (the other parts are in Ukraine and a small bit in Slovakia). It is also the fifth highest peak on Crown of Polish Mountains list of highest peaks of every mountain range in the country. Central part of Bieszczadzki Park Narodowy (Bieszczady national park). Although only one marked trail leads to the top of Tarnica, there are many, that cross each other on the pass just below the summit. Most popular trail leads from the former village of Wołosate - it's the shortest but arguably the steepest of them all. There's also another one from Wołosate, but running the long way, climbing pretty much all peaks in Worek Tarnicy (Tarnica sack) group of mountains. Other options of climbing are mainly from the north, and are much longer - would take the whole day for experienced hikers. Tarnica is one of the most superb viewing points in Polish mountains, provided clouds are hanging high enough, as it is famous for it's bad weathers. Last time I climbed it in may 2019 my app to recognise summits showed mountains in Romania, some 130 km away - it was propably something to do with that app, don't believe such long distance view is at all possible. The mounatin became a focal point in media recenty, due to new facilities on most popular trail, namely gravel/wooden "stairs", made by national park authorities, which apparently draw even bigger crowds towards to this place, but it seems like those had been accepted since, and noone is making a fuss about them anymore.
