The most popular tourist destination in the south-east Lublin Region, surrounded by vast woodlands of the Janów Forests. In the past it was the economic and administrative centre of the Zamoyski Entail, famous for its thriving textile and weaving industry. Presently Janów is a modern, well-developed holiday resort with a 40-hectare artificial lake, scenic landscapes, many tourist routes, and places connected to history and partisan battles (such as Porytowe Wzgórze or Uroczysko Kruczek). Janów Lubelski is also the seat of the Marian Sanctuary with a church and Dominican monastery founded by the Zamoyski Family and built in the years 1694-1720.
