Lubaczow is a small town in southeastern Poland, in Podkarpackie Voivodeship.
While in Lubaczow, it is definitely worth seeing the Jewish Cemetery, which is listed in the register of monuments of the Podkarpackie Voivodeship. The cemetery was established in the 18th century and occupies an area of 0.3 hectares, where 1,665 tombstones have survived (35 of which are from the 18th century).
A beautiful fence was erected in 1930 from the foundation of Josef Hirsz Reinfeld (a Lubaczow Jew residing permanently in the USA). In the cemetery there is a mass grave commemorating 950 Jews killed by the Germans in 1942. The cemetery is one of the most interesting Jewish necropolises in Poland. It is surrounded by a wall, and a gate with wrought iron gates, originally decorated with gilded lions, leads to its territory. Currently, the cemetery has about 150 stone matzevot (a Jewish tombstone, usually in the form of a vertically positioned, rectangular stone or wooden slab (from the 19th century also cast iron) topped with a straight line, a triangle, a semicircle or two sections of a circle. Its upper part is filled with a bas-relief, while the lower part is filled with an inscription (epitaph)), the oldest of which date back to the 17th century. Matzevot are of great artistic value, richly decorated with interesting bas-reliefs.
While in Lubaczow in the summer you can go canoeing on the picturesque Tanwia River. Due to the shallow water (up to 1 m deep), the route is suitable for everyone.
Although along the route we may encounter remnants of old trees in the riverbed, so we must be prepared to get out of the canoe.
In town, it's worth checking out the Borderlands Museum, which is housed in a manor granary from the early 19th century. There are three permanent exhibition halls to visit, covering the history of the city and the region, the material culture of the Lubaczow countryside and the art of the Borderlands, and two temporary ones. In addition, exhibitions are held in the Oficyna Gallery, which is located in the courthouse park. Since 1993, the Triennale of Polish Contemporary Drawing, a nationwide competition aimed at presenting phenomena occurring in art, has been organized here. Behind the museum building is a shrine to St. John of Nepomuk.
During the summer months, the Lubaczow Concathedral hosts International Organ Concerts, during which world-renowned musicians can be heard.
The bus stop is located at the PKS station in Lubaczow.
