This southeastern region of Poland features medium-size mountains and picturesque landscapes. Here visitors find wooden Orthodox and Roman-Catholic churches perfectly fitted into their natural environment.
Some of these churches are several hundred years old and six were entered on UNESCO's World Cultural Heritage List. None of them were designed by famous architects. Simple carpenters constructed them all. The oldest one is the 15th century church in Harczow, made of fir-wood and covered with shingles. Fragments of wall paintings were uncovered in the churches interioirs. Of great value are other churches, in Blizne, Sekowa, Binaorwa, Debno, Lipnica Murowana. The six trails on the route are over 1500 kilometers long. They feature 232 timber constractions of great value, including churches, rural and small towns complexes, rural architecture museums, heritage parks and country manors.
The Route of Timber Architecture in this region is a new tourist offer that presents the most beautiful examples of timber architecture in Poland
