Carnaval Sztuk-Mistrzów Carnaval Sztuk-­Mistrzów in Lublin is a celebration of the new circus, theatre and alternative art. The first edition of the festival took place in 2010. It refers to the character of the Magician of Lublin – a widely recognized figure portrayed in the film by Isaac Bashevis Singer.

The idea of the festival derives from a centuries-­old social tradition of mutual celebration. The whole city becomes a stage for jugglers, mimes, acrobats, conjurers, magicians, clowns, unicycle riders etc. In 2012 the festival was an integral part of the European Juggling Convention (EJC) -­ the biggest and the most prestigious event in the world of jugglers and new circus performers.

The Roztocze central cycling route The route is approximately 266 km long and leads through the picturesque areas of Western, Central and Eastern Roztocze, from Kraśnik (Poland) to Lviv (Ukraine).

The route is divided into three stages: Kraśnik -­ Zwierzyniec, Zwierzyniec -­ Hrebenne, Hrebenne -­ Lviv. Three routes go across the most important protected natural areas in Roztocze National Park (Poland) and Yavorivskyi National Park (Ukraine), as well as through other landscape parks and nature reserves. Roztocze region is not only a geological boundary between Western and Eastern Europe, but it is also a cultural borderland. This is evidenced by the presence of historic Orthodox churches, Roman Catholic churches and old synagogue buildings.

Chełm's chalk undergrounds Old chalk mine A unique structure of historical interest on a national and even European scale. A labyrinth of tunnels came into being in 16th century as a result of the exploitation of rich chalk deposits which lie under the surface of the city.

The white labirynth runs through three underground complexes of tunnels near the Sending of St. Apostles Parish Church, under the old town market square and under Przechodnia Street. During visiting nearly 2km long route, which tourists cover in about 50 minutes, it is possible to observe numerous exhibitions of geological, archeological and historical interest. On the way through the old mine tourists can also encounter Bieluch -­ a friendly ghost who guards the place.

Nysa Fortress Days One of the biggest events promoting history in the Opolszczyzna region and one of the most significant in the country. It advertises unique 18th century fortifications of the Nysa Fortress as well as the cultural heritage of the Nysa land.
