Located at coordinates 50.6312N and 22.4549E, Porytowe Wzgórze rises within the natural landscape of the Janow Forest, near Janow Lubelski.

On June 14, 1944, a battle between 3,000 Polish and Soviet partisans against 30,000 German forces occurred at this location during Operation Tempest.

The hill serves as a gathering place for commemorative events that honor the resistance fighters who defended their homeland during World War II.

Visitors can reach the site by taking local roads from Janow Lubelski, with no entrance fees required for accessing the memorial grounds.

The battle at Porytowe Wzgórze demonstrated remarkable military tactics when surrounded partisans executed a successful breakout through German lines.
