Annopol, known as the "Gateway to the Lublin Region," is a small town situated on the western border of Lublin Voivodeship, within the Lesser Poland River Gorge. Its history dates back to the 18th century when, in 1761, it was granted town rights by virtue of a privilege issued by King Augustus III of Poland on the land of the village of Rachów. Earlier, in 1724, the village had received the right to organise fairs and markets. Thanks to its proximity to the queen of Polish rivers, the town was once an important port, trade, and rafting centre.

In the centre of Annopol, the historic urban layout and the wooden Church of St. Joachim and St. Anne, dating back to 1740, are worth noting as valuable examples of sacred architecture.

While strolling through the area, visitors should explore the high escarpments along the Vistula River, offering a picturesque panorama of the Lesser Poland River Gorge. In this section, the river retains its wild character, forming islands that serve as a refuge for local fauna and flora.

Nearby villages also offer interesting sights. In Świeciechów, visitors can see a sepulchral chapel and a historic cemetery gate, while in Bliskowice, a historic manor house awaits exploration.
