The best MTB trails around gmina Iwonicz-Zdrój

This impressive two-story wooden building was built between 1876 and 1880. Covered terraces, arcades, balconies... you can probably guess that it was once a luxury hotel for high-end guests!

One of the most impressive buildings in Iwonicz-Zdrój (Podkarpackie Voivodeship) is the Bazar villa. Located in the center, on the promenade, the wooden building appears on almost all souvenirs from the spa town – it is its showpiece. The two-story building was built between 1876 and 1880, with a plan similar to the letter H. It was founded by Michał Załuski, owner of the Iwonicz estate from 1860. It was during his lifetime that an iodine-bromine salt works was built, and a railway line was built 12 km away. During Michał Załuski's reign, Iwonicz had 19 villas with six hundred rooms for spa guests. The ground floor of Bazar once housed a post office and telegraph office, and later shops. The upper floors were occupied by luxurious rooms. The hotel featured an indoor swimming pool, terraces, balconies, and arcades supported by columns. In one corner, a three-story tower was erected on a square plan, topped with a gazebo on poles, serving as an observation deck.

The bald peak of the Przymiarki mountain, 626 m above sea level. Sometimes you can even see the Tatra Mountains from here.

Przymiarki is a mountain ridge in the Low Beskids, in the Rymanowskie Hills, between Lubatowa and Rymanów-Zdrój. The ridge has three peaks, with the western Uhliska (611 m above sea level) and the eastern Kopa (640 m above sea level), where the Patryja triangulation tower once stood. The name Przymiarki (626 m above sea level) refers to the central part. Views from the central part include the Strzyżowskie Foothills, the Dynowskie Foothills, Doły Jasielsko-Sanockie, the Bieszczady Mountains, the border range of the Low Beskids, Gniazdo Jawornika, the Rymanowskie Hills and the Dukielski Beskids. The ridge is a popular destination for trips from the health resorts of Iwonicz-Zdrój and Rymanów-Zdrój, offering a panoramic view of the region. Iwonicki Potok flows from the slopes of Przymiarki.

On the Zaśpit hill there is the third temple dedicated to Saint. John of Dukla, also known as the Church in the Forest. The history of this place began with a brick temple built in 1769 on the initiative of Maria Amelia Mniszchowa née Brühl after the beatification of the saint. After the ceremonial consecration, accompanied by salvos from 24 mortars, a procession took place from the Dukla parish church to the Zaśpit hill. Unfortunately, both the chapel and the hermitage burned down in a fire in 1883. In 1887, thanks to the foundation of Cezary Męciński, a new wooden chapel was built. The third neo-Gothic brick chapel, still present today, was built in the years 1906-1908 thanks to the efforts of the guardian of the Bernardines of Dukla, Ambroży Ligas. The project was created by a Saint Bernard named Kamil Żarnowski, and the polychrome depicting the life of Blessed John was painted by Władysław Lisowski. The neo-Gothic oak altar was made by Kazimierz Konieczkowski from Strzyżów.
