The best city hikes and walks around Lesko

The bar has existed for 43 years and offers Polish cuisine. Open from 9 am to 6 pm, sometimes earlier and longer if there are customers, from Monday to Sunday. We ordered pierogi with meat (10 pcs for 30 zł) and with blueberries and cream (same price and quantity). Tasty, large, but relatively expensive. You can eat pierogi with meat much cheaper at the SMAK bar in Sanok (19 zł) or in Zarszyn at the Gospodzie Karpackiej (23 zł for 12 pcs). WW

When visiting the center of Lesko, it is impossible to miss the confectioneries run for years by the Szelców family. There are two located near each other, on opposite sides of the Market Square. This one is historically the oldest and the most difficult to find, as it is located in an old corner tenement house, slightly off the beaten path. People used to come here for ice cream and cakes from Lesko, when no one even dreamed that the Słodki Domek Szelców, banquet halls, and a hotel built on the road leading to Sanok (DK84) would ever be established. The current interior of the old confectionery in no way resembles the original. About two years ago, the premises were significantly expanded, combining the former shop and café into one, with entrances leading from different sides of the building. Here you can eat something sweet without waiting in the long queue that forms in season, especially on weekends, at Słodki Domek. If someone arrives by car or motorcycle, the paid parking zone in the center of Lesko does not apply on Saturdays and Sundays. WW

The following people have been commemorated here: Piotr Kmita, Count Aleksander Fredro, Zygmunt Kaczkowski and Henrietta Ewa Ankwiczówna.

Very interesting to look at and of absolute historical value. However, the entrance is very inconspicuous.

A small confectionery and ice cream parlor is an additional point of sale of the PIERZ confectionery located on Podgórze Street. Among the various cakes, I can recommend the traditional cream cake, current price PLN 4.80. There is very little space inside, but two chairs and a table have been arranged, and outside there is an openwork gazebo with chairs and a table. The location is very advantageous - by the promenade, which tourists and cyclists use from the Sanok castle and the Market Square towards the parish church or the bench of the soldier Švejk. The confectionery is open in the summer season: Mon - Fri 9:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. Sat 10:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. Sun 10:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m. WW

In times long past, the Market Square in Sanok was an oasis of greenery in this part of the city. After the change of regime, the trees were cut down, and the Market Square was paved mostly in red, hence its name, Red Square. On hot days, the center of the square is unbearably hot. You can seek refreshment under the umbrellas where ice cream is sold, or by the fountain located closer to City Hall. Even better, stop by the Franciscan Church for a moment and find not only refreshment but also peace. WW

MEDIATEKA IN SANOK March 6, 2023 The "Sowa Discovery, Imagination and Activity Zone" is being created in Sanok - the result of cooperation between the Municipal Public Library in Sanok and the Copernicus Science Center. Thanks to the targeted subsidy granted by the Minister of Education and Science for the launch of local activity zones, the Copernicus Science Center will create a total of 32 local mini-science centers by the end of 2023, including the Sanok center as the only one in Podkarpacie. The Mediateka will occupy the former seat of Junior High School No. 3. In addition to the exhibition zone where workshops are organized, the Mediateka in Sanok will feature an exhibition hall, the Retro Games Zone, which will present the development of computer hardware since the 1960s and various electronic entertainment products.
