Green Velo

This is a city on the Bug River, in which three historical churches have been preserved: a Baroque Catholic church with a Pauline monastery, a Byzantine-Ruthenian Orthodox Church and one of the most beautiful synagogue complexes in the country with a large Baroque synagogue.

The latter houses the Łęczyńsko-Włodawskie Lakeland Museum, which documents and presents the city’s past, in addition to organising the annual Festival of Three Cultures, which takes place partly in the preserved temples. The large town square, with its preserved building of stalls and shops, the so-called quadrangle, speaks to the commercial past of Włodawa. The former port city is today an important point in kayaking trips down the Bug and Włodawka Rivers.
