Sandomierz Basin, Geographical macroregion in southeastern Poland and western Ukraine

The Sandomierz Basin spans 15,000 square kilometers, forming a triangular depression between the Carpathian Mountains in the south and the Lesser Poland Upland in the north.

During the Middle Ages, dense forests covered the entire basin, with remnants still present in the Solska, Sandomierska, and Niepolomicka Forest complexes.

The region connects major cultural centers through an ancient trade route from Krakow to Lviv, passing through Tarnow, Rzeszow, and Przemysl.

The basin contains deposits of rock salt in Bochnia and Wieliczka, sulfur in Tarnobrzeg, natural gas in Husow and Jaroslaw, and petroleum in Grobla.

The landscape features river valleys with quaternary deposits reaching depths of 2,500 meters near the Carpathian edge, creating distinct geological formations.
