Discover Kukuryki

Kukuryki is a border town with a clear connection to the road network: the Kukuryki–Kozłowicze road border crossing is located in the town on the Polish-Belarusian border. At the same time, the connection to nature at the municipality level leads to the “Podlaski Przełom Bugu” Landscape Park. This gives you two distinct scales to consider when planning your trip: the specific location of the border town and a natural landscape that extends across several municipalities. When choosing a place for your holiday stay, you can consider whether you would rather focus on the town’s border location or the natural landscape of Terespol municipality.

A border location on two named roads

The Kukuryki–Kozłowicze road border crossing is located on Polish National Road 68 and Belarusian Highway M1. This gives the border location a specific connection to the town and its roads: Kukuryki is the location of the crossing, while the two road names identify the routes on either side. This provides a local reference point when choosing where to stay. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Kukuryki, you can use the town itself as the starting point for your search and consider its border location as a distinctive feature. This keeps the road-based orientation clearly distinct from the broader natural setting of the municipality.

A landscape park spanning several municipalities

The “Podlaski Przełom Bugu” Landscape Park was established in 1984 and extends across the Bug municipalities of Terespol, Rokitno, Janów Podlaski, Konstantynów, and Sarnaki. Its extent gives the natural landscape a broader regional framework: it is connected to several municipalities and cannot be reduced to a single town location. Kukuryki is connected to this landscape through Terespol municipality. So if you include the park in your holiday plans, the municipality level provides a useful reference point. The municipalities named also show that the landscape park forms a broader regional context than the specific road location of the border town.

Between the Bug and the Krzna

Within Terespol municipality, the park’s most diverse landscapes are located in the “Szwajcaria Podlaska” strict nature reserve. It lies between the Bug and the Krzna. This distinguishes two levels of the natural landscape: the landscape park extends across five municipalities, while the nature reserve refers to a specific area within Terespol municipality. The Bug and Krzna rivers provide a precise geographical location for this protected area. This distinction is useful when planning your trip if you want to tell the broader park apart from the specifically designated nature reserve.

Choose the right focus when deciding where to stay

When looking for a holiday apartment, you can first decide what you want to use as your reference point. If Kukuryki as a border town is your focus, its precise location on National Road 68 and Highway M1 is the defining spatial reference. If you are primarily interested in the landscape park, use Terespol municipality and the wider context of the five municipalities as your guide. These are different perspectives on the regional setting, not interchangeable descriptions of the same place.
