Chełm

Chełm lies along the Uherka River, where gently rolling eastern Polish terrain is underlain by chalk close to the surface. That geology shapes the city’s best-known attraction: the Chełm Chalk Tunnels, an underground maze formed through centuries of chalk extraction and now explored on guided routes. In the 13th century, Chełm was an important seat of Prince Daniel Romanovich of Galicia-Volhynia, reflecting its longstanding role in the borderlands between Poland and Ukraine. The Baroque Basilica of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary stands on the city’s high ground, continuing a sacred tradition associated with the site.
