Located to the north and east of the Ustrzyki Dolne, the Słonne Mountains comprise many nature reserves and natural monuments. In this area you will find excellent conditions for hiking, biking and horse riding along marked trails
Because of its geographical location and climate this is a great place for water sports. Within the commune there are two ski stations at Gromadzyń and Laworta as well as ski lifts of Mały Król in Ustrzyki, in Ropienka and in Arłamów. Ustrzyki Dolne is called the winter capital of the Podkarpackie Region. Besides downhill slopes there are also cross-country trails ranking among the best in Poland.
In Ustrzyki Dolne you can visit the Bieszczady Natural History Museum. The town hosts regularly organized cultural and sports events. The most important include Carpathian Tourism Fairs, “Bojkowiana” Folk Fairs, Bread Feast, as well as Festival of Country Music and Borderland Culture. For many tourists Ustrzyki is a starting point for hiking trips to the Bieszczady summits.
