Introducing Sanok
Nestled in a picturesque valley in the Bieszczady Foothills, Sanok, the so-called gateway to the Bieszczady, has been subject to Ruthenian, Hungarian, Austrian, Russian, German and Polish rule in its eventful history. Although it contains an important industrial zone – Autosan, the bus used in intercity and urban transportation throughout the land, is produced here – it is also a popular base for exploring the mountains. Sanok is also the springboard for the fascinating Icon Trail, a signposted walking or bicycle route taking in the surrounding countryside’s wealth of wooden churches.
