The Biłgoraj horse refuge in Szklarnia is the only such place on the map of Poland. These are horses descended from wild horses living in Europe. They resemble Polish horses to a large extent, but they are not the same breed. The Czartosowa River flows through the refuge and is a natural watering hole for these beautiful animals.

Zalew Janowski is an artificial lake located near Janów Lubelski, on the outskirts of the Janowskie Forests. The lake was created by damming the waters of the Wieprz River. The main purposes of its creation are water retention and the possibility of using the reservoir for recreational purposes. There are beaches, swimming areas, campsites and walking trails around the reservoir. You can rent a pedal boat.

The Szklarnia Nature Reserve was established in 1989 to protect the characteristic elements of the former Solska Forest, including mainly stands of natural origin with a significant share of silver fir. There is an educational path within the reserve, which starts at the Janów Lubelski - Szklarnia road, about 3 kilometers from Janów. There you will find a tourist shelter and 20 educational boards. The reserve is located in the Janowskie Forests Landscape Park.
