A hiking trail from Borki towards Szur also runs through Krasnobrodzki Landscape Park. The gorge, forest and landscape park give the routes a strong connection to nature.

A wooden wayside chapel stands on the southern edge of Borki. In Borki, the yellow-marked hiking trail to Szur passes the chapel and the gorge. The trail thus connects two specific landmarks in the village with the onward route towards Szur. The chapel is a structure in its own right on the edge of the village, while the gorge and forest define the routes’ landscape setting.

Culture and Cycling Route Nearby

The Szur Gallery in Szur is located near Borki. It is part of the Roztoczańskie Ekomuzeum „Świąteczna Kraina“ route and features an exhibition of paintings. This provides a cultural highlight in Szur alongside Borki’s natural attractions and hiking routes. The gallery and the routes to Szur can be considered as separate interests for a stay, without combining them into a single route.

There is also a cycling route nearby: a blue-marked cycle path on the Roztoczański Szlak rowerowy leads to Majdan Sopocki. It offers a different destination from the hiking routes to Szur.
