Trawniki

Trawniki is a rural settlement situated near the Wieprz River in eastern Lublin Voivodeship in Poland. The village center lies approximately 33 kilometers southeast of Lublin and is defined by farmland, scattered houses, and rural buildings.

The location was marked by a Nazi concentration camp that operated from 1941 to 1944 during World War II. The camp functioned as both a labor facility and a training center for the occupying forces.

The settlement serves as an administrative hub for its surrounding rural district and reflects a way of life centered on farming and land stewardship. Visitors can observe how local agricultural traditions shape the rhythm and appearance of daily activity throughout the village.

The settlement has a train station connecting to regional rail services that link to larger towns and the city of Lublin. Essential services such as shops and municipal buildings are located throughout the village for everyday needs and visits.

The railway station held strategic value during World War I when the Russian Empire planned to use it for military operations against Austria-Hungary. This earlier importance shows how the location played shifting roles across different European conflicts.
