About location

Built around a market settlement beside the Giełczewka River, Piaski grew into a small town in eastern Poland. It lies in Lublin Voivodeship between Lublin and Chełm, amid the agricultural landscape of the region. Piaski received town rights in 1456 and for centuries served as a local trading centre. Before the Second World War, Polish and Jewish communities were both integral to its life. During the German occupation, the town contained a ghetto and transit camp for Jews, a defining and tragic chapter in its history. Today, Piaski remains a compact service centre for surrounding villages, linked to the wider region by the Lublin–Chełm road.

Among the towns of Lublin Voivodeship, Piaski stands out for its position on the Giełczewka River, where routes from Lublin meet roads towards Chełm and Zamość. The town lies on the eastern edge of the Lublin Upland, in an agricultural part of south-eastern Poland shaped by fields and gently rolling terrain. Piaski’s past reflects the mixed communities that once lived across this borderland: before the Second World War it was home to Poles, Jews and Protestant settlers, a legacy recalled by its former name, Piaski Luterskie. The wartime Piaski ghetto remains an important and painful part of local memory. See how Piaski connects with the wider Lublin region by browsing webcams nearby.

Country Poland

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.
