Krosno: Krosno Airport
Built around an airfield established in the interwar period, Krosno Airport grew into a centre for recreational and training aviation in south-eastern Poland. It lies on open ground near Krosno, where the foothills lead toward the Low Beskids, part of the Carpathian range. The airport is part of the region’s long-standing aviation tradition, while Krosno itself is widely known in Poland for its glassmaking heritage. This is a working airfield landscape, with a runway, taxiways and broad grass margins rather than a large terminal complex. Its setting reflects the gently rolling terrain of the Subcarpathian Voivodeship.

Tucked into the foothills of the Carpathians beside the Wisłok River, Krosno is a place whose character is shaped by its long association with glassmaking and the industrial traditions of south-eastern Poland. Its compact historic centre centres on the Market Square, where townhouses recall Krosno’s role on the old routes towards Hungary. The Glass Heritage Centre presents the craft for which the city is widely known, including demonstrations that bring the work of glassmakers into the heart of a visit. Krosno also lies close to Bóbrka, home to a museum devoted to the early petroleum industry and the work of pioneer Ignacy Łukasiewicz.

Built around the Carpathian foothills and the upper San River basin, Subcarpathian Voivodeship grew into Poland’s southeastern borderland region. Rzeszów, the regional capital, is its main urban centre, while the land rises southward towards the Low Beskids and Bieszczady Mountains. The San and its tributaries cut through valleys of farmland and forest, linking small towns with the higher Carpathian interior. Wooden Roman Catholic churches and Orthodox tserkvas reflect centuries of Polish and Ukrainian cultural contact, and several local tserkvas form part of a UNESCO World Heritage listing. Continue through the area to see how this part of southeastern Poland connects regionally.

Poland stretches from the Baltic Sea coast in the north to the Carpathian Mountains along its southern frontier, encompassing broad lowlands, lake districts and upland ranges. The Vistula, the country’s longest river, links Kraków and Warsaw before reaching the Baltic near Gdańsk, while the Masurian Lake District is defined by a dense network of lakes. Kraków’s historic centre, including Wawel Castle, recalls Poland’s former royal capital; Warsaw’s rebuilt Old Town speaks to the city’s recovery after the Second World War. The Białowieża Forest preserves one of Europe’s last primeval lowland forests and is home to European bison. Follow how Poland’s regions relate to one another by browsing webcams across the country.
