This is a summer resort, which thanks to the abundance of bike trails and Józefowska Kawaleria Rowerowa (Józefów Bike Cavalry), an organisation which organises bike rallies and other events, is also known as the “Bike Capital of Roztocze”.

Apart from that, the limestone quarries are the greatest tourist attraction of the town, as well as important points on the Roztocze Geotourist Route, especially the biggest one: “Babia Dolina”, with a lookout tower, as well as two reservoirs on the Nepryszka River – one of them is a fishing pond, and the second is a recreational site. The town, once an important part of the Zamoyski Family Fee Tail Estate, has many monuments worth seeing, among them a town hall, a parish church and a synagogue built in the 18th–19th century, as well as a Jewish cemetery with several hundred gravestones.
