A renovated obelisk from 1893 bearing the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Hungary has been unveiled at the Radoszycka Pass in the Komańcza commune. It is the only surviving border post between former Galicia and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It is now also intended to be a tourist attraction.

A unique relic has been preserved at the Radoszycka Pass, through which the Polish-Slovak border now runs. It is an obelisk bearing the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Hungary, which once served as a border post.

During the German occupation, the former Hungarian border post served as a signpost for refugees from Poland.

Roman Bzdyk, mayor of the Komańcza commune: "This is where thousands of volunteers crossed into the Polish army being formed in France during World War II, and this is where one of the most important courier routes, codenamed "Forest," ran, connecting the Polish underground with the government in exile.
