Porytowe Wzgórze, Memorial hill in Janow Lubelski region, Poland
Porytowe Wzgórze is a memorial site located within the forest landscape near Janow Lubelski, dedicated to a significant wartime event. The grounds lie amid natural woodlands and can be accessed via local paths and roads.
A major military clash occurred at this location in June 1944 between partisan forces and German troops. This battle was part of a broader campaign for liberation and remains an important moment in local history.
The hill serves as a place where people gather to remember those who fought for their homeland during World War II. This memorial site keeps those memories alive through its presence in the landscape and invites visitors to reflect on courage and resistance.
The site is freely accessible with no entrance fee or registration required. Visitors should wear sturdy footwear as the terrain is wooded and uneven in places.
