Sławatycze is a village located among the picturesque meanders of the Bug River. For centuries it was inhabited by a multi-religious community of Catholics, Orthodox, Jews, and Evangelicals. Opposite each other there are two impressive temples - the Orthodox church of the Protection of the Mother of God and the church of Our Lady of the Rosary. On the local market, you can see over three-meter bearded figures known as the brodacze of Sławatycze. According to the long tradition, a parade of men disguised as the brodacze goes through the streets of the village in the last three days of December. It is believed that meeting them brings happiness for the whole year.

It is a perfect place for the fans of active tourism. It is best to get to know the wonderful Bug River nature during a cycling trip along the Green Velo East Bicycle Trail and during kayaking. Kayak adventure - Marek Pomietło offers great kayaking possibilities on the border river Bug also for cyclists. The procedure is simple. At the agreed place, you hop off the bike and get into a kayak. Bicycles are transported to the end of the trip, from where you can continue your trip on your two wheels.

There are many exceptionally interesting places in the area, such as: the monastery in Jabłeczna, the Marian Sanctuary in Kodeń, the wooden church in Hanna, the J.I. Kraszewski Museum in Romanów, or the mysterious Mucharyniec Forest - the peculiar place is an ideal circle of 4-5 ha, creating a dry area, where the trees grow reluctantly. Local hearsays tell about a mysterious force that makes it easy to lose orientation there and causes the compasses go crazy. One of the legends says that in this place stood a church that suddenly disappeared underground.
