Introducing Dukla
Dukla, 19km southwest of Krosno, is close to the Dukla Pass (Przełęcz Dukielska), the lowest and most easily accessible passage over the Western Carpathians. In the 16th century this strategic location brought prosperity to the town, which became a centre of the wine trade on the route from Hungary. Its heyday was in the 18th century, when most of its important monuments were built.

In the autumn of 1944 one of the fiercest mountain battles of WWII was fought around the Dukla Pass, in which the combined Soviet and Czechoslovakian armies crushed the German defence, leaving more than 100, 000 soldiers dead.
There’s a Bank PKO (ul Mickiewicza 1; 8am-3.30pm Mon-Fri) south of the parish church.
