Lesko Stone
This impressive geological formation shows how Nature is truly an artist. Located in the forest near the city, it is most likely a result of glacial movements in the area and the whole formation is believed to have been carried to the present site by a glacier. The stone is over 65 feet (20 m) tall and is entirely a work of erosion. Its peculiar shape was further pronounced as the area was a small rock quarry in past centuries. The stone is an important aspect of local culture with a number of legends related to its shape and origin and some of them are told on plaques currently fixed to the stone.

The jewel of the region undoubtedly stands in Ulucz: the Church of the Ascension which is considered the oldest wooden church of oriental type in Poland.
