Lemkivshchyna, Ukrainian historical region in southeastern Poland
The Lemkivshchyna region stretches across the eastern Carpathian Mountains, featuring dense forests, rolling hills, and traditional wooden architecture scattered throughout the landscape.
Following World War II, the region experienced significant demographic changes when Operation Vistula forcibly relocated thousands of Lemko residents from their ancestral lands.
The Lemko people maintain their identity through traditional music, featuring distinctive vocal styles and regional instruments such as the trembita, a wooden horn.
Visitors can explore the region through marked hiking trails connecting villages like Krynica-Zdrój and Uście Gorlickie, where local festivals occur throughout the year.
The region contains numerous wooden churches with characteristic cupolas that demonstrate architectural techniques distinct from neighboring Carpathian communities.
