Annopol, known as the "Gate to the Lublin Region", is a small town located just by the western border of the Lublin Voivodeship, within the Lesser Poland Gorge of the Vistula river. In the past the city was a port centre for trade and rafting, all thanks to the close proximity to the queen of Polish rivers. When strolling through Annopol's streets, pay attention to the historic urban layout. One of the most valuable local monuments is a charming wooden church from 1740. It's also worth to go for a walk to the area of the Vistula, which here is still wild and unbridled. Every year, the riverbed changes its course and the current creates or takes away mid-river islands, which are a refuge for native fauna and flora. A great place to observe the turn of the Vistula are the high Annopolska escarpments, which offer an unforgettable view.
