The park for recreation and environmental education, named after Stanisław Zając, Senator of the Republic of Poland, is located in Folusz on the left bank of the Kłopotnica stream. It borders Magura National Park directly and is part of its buffer zone. A marked circular hiking trail is about 2.5 km long and takes around 40 minutes. The trail is particularly suitable for families with small children.

The same park is also home to the designated “Dolina Kłopotnicy” environmental education trail. The circular route and educational trail offer different ways to explore nature and environmental education in Folusz.

Two hiking trails offer different routes: the yellow trail runs from Mrukowa via Kotań to Krempna and takes about five hours to walk. The green trail starts in Nowy Żmigród, runs via Mrukowa to Folusz, and takes about four and a half hours to walk. The green trail offers expansive panoramas of the Magura Wątkowska range and the area around the Wisłok Valley. The stated times can help you factor these two route descriptions into your plans.
