Hiking
Polak Hill (318 m), from which there is a panorama of the Sandomierska Valley. You can also see the edge zone of Roztocze, cut by narrow strips of fields. You will reach the hill from road 858 through a beautiful beech alley.
On the hill there is a tourist shelter with benches, a monument to the January insurgents in Panasówka and an obelisk commemorating Poles and Hungarians fighting in the unit of Marcin Borelowski codename Lelewel, commanding the Polish unit in the victorious battle against the Russians near Panasówka in 1863.

On the Polish side, the battle was fought by a unit commanded by Colonel Marcin Lelewel Borelowski (700-800 people) and a unit led by Kajetan Ćwiek Cieszkowski (400 people). Both of these units had taken part in the Battle of Biłgoraj the day before; after the clash, they merged into one unit.
On the Russian side, Major Mikołaj Sternberg commanded; his forces numbered – according to various sources – from 3 to 4 thousand soldiers. The Russian units consisted of 5 infantry companies, a squadron of dragoons and two Cossack sotnias. The Russians also had four cannons.
