Chełm County

Chełm County is an administrative district in eastern Lublin Voivodeship, spread across rural farmland and scattered villages. The area encompasses multiple municipalities and the town of Rejowiec Fabryczny, connected by countryside and open landscapes.

This area took its current form in 1999 when Poland reorganized its administrative divisions, bringing together territories from different regions. The reshaping combined several former administrative areas into a unified structure.

The rural communities here maintain local traditions visible in seasonal festivals and the way people gather for shared celebrations throughout the year. Agricultural life and neighborhood customs shape how families and neighbors interact with each other daily.

The area lies in central-eastern Europe and is crossed by rural roads that connect small villages and farmland. Visitors should expect that services spread across the countryside are limited, making it important to plan ahead for supplies and facilities.

Underground chalk tunnels lie beneath the landscape, dating back several centuries from intensive mining that shaped the ground beneath. These passages remain visible in places today and reveal how extraction activity once reshaped the local geology.
