Some tourists living in Sosnowa Aleja were interested in the fate of Lemkos. The Lemkos are an ethnic group living in the Bieszczady Mountains. This is a group of Ruthenian highlanders distinguished by rites, dress, faith and material culture. Farming and cattle breeding were their main occupation. They were also famous for their craft. Solinka, Żubracze, Mików, Duszatyn, Rzepedz and Jawornik were Lemkos villages the most situated in the East. That East Slavic ethnic group had lived here until they were displaced in 1945-1947.
Our tourists went to Liszna to the mini ZOO where they could know more about Lemkos. They also could see the miniature reconstruction of the Lemko village. They were surprised by the accuracy of the details of such a village.
