Wola Uhruska at a glance
The UHURSK railway station was established in 1887 in connection with the construction of the Chełm–Brześć railway line. The “Dolina Bugu” nature and history educational trail runs through the streets of Wola Uhruska and across meadows in the Bug Valley. Wola Uhruska is designated as both the starting point and destination for the cycling routes.
What does the Uhrusk railway station complex tell us?
The railway station complex includes a water tower built in 1887. The station and tower therefore represent the railway history of the area; at the same time, the tower is connected with another cultural theme. On 13 April 2024, an exhibition featuring products from the “Nadbużanka” glassworks opened there, in the water tower at the former Uhrusk railway station. This brings the history of the station together with regional glass art in one building.
The complex also includes the POMPKA Centre. Its facilities include a swimming area, a playground, a beach volleyball court and a covered stage. These facilities provide options for swimming, play, beach volleyball and events. They can help you decide which aspects of the area will interest your travel group.
Which routes suit your travel plans?
The “Dolina Bugu” educational trail combines nature and history. Its route through the streets of Wola Uhruska and across meadows in the Bug Valley differs from a visit focused solely on the town: it passes through both built-up areas and the river valley landscape. If you enjoy walking, this route provides a concrete starting point for your plans.
Cycling routes are another option in the area. For the suggested routes, Wola Uhruska is both the starting point and the return destination. This offers a different way to plan compared with the educational trail: instead of a route that passes through streets and meadows, you can plan a bike ride that starts and ends in the same place. This lets you distinguish between the two activities by your preferred mode of transport, without assuming any connection between the individual routes.
