There are several specific ways to explore Wola Uhruska during your stay: railway history at the Uhrusk complex, a nature and history educational trail, and cycling routes connected with the village. The trail runs through streets and across meadows in the Bug Valley; Wola Uhruska is the starting and finishing point for each of the cycling routes. The POMPKA Centre is also located within the railway station complex. You can therefore choose whether to focus your stay on local history, a walk, a cycling trip or the facilities at the complex.

UHURSK Railway Station and Water Tower

UHURSK Railway Station in Wola Uhruska was built in 1887 in connection with the construction of the Chełm–Brześć railway line. The Uhrusk railway station complex includes a water tower, also built in 1887. The year links the station and the tower, while the railway line provides the wider historical context. This offers a specific focus for understanding the village’s history: railway construction and the station complex are closely connected, and the tower adds another building from the same period to the station’s history. Visitors particularly interested in historic infrastructure will find a clearly defined part of Wola Uhruska’s history here.

On Foot and by Bike

The “Dolina Bugu” nature and history educational trail runs through the streets of Wola Uhruska and across meadows in the Bug Valley. Its route thus connects the village with the landscape of the Bug Valley; at the same time, the trail covers two themes: nature and history. This combination defines a walk with a focus on these subjects. You can follow a route that passes both through the village streets and across meadows. If you would like to explore on foot, “Dolina Bugu” offers a specific way to discover these themes.

Wola Uhruska is the starting and finishing point for each of the cycling routes. This gives a cycling trip a clear connection to the village: you can plan it as an outing that returns to the same place. In contrast to the educational trail, the focus here is on the starting and finishing point; the trail, by comparison, is defined by its route through streets and meadows. If you are deciding between walking and cycling, these offer different points to consider when planning your trip.

Railway Station Complex and Exhibition

The Uhrusk railway station complex also includes the POMPKA Centre; the site has a bathing area, playground, beach volleyball court and covered stage. If you plan to visit POMPKA, check visiting arrangements in advance.

An exhibition of products from the “Nadbużanka” glassworks opened in the water tower at the former Uhrusk railway station on 13 April 2024. The opening added a dedicated exhibition theme to the railway history. If you would like to visit the water tower or the exhibition, check visiting arrangements in advance.
