Starting point

Build at 1950s the voivodeship road No 812 link the city of Biała Podlaska with Włodawa, Chełm and Krasnystaw on a distance of 151 km. The importance of the road was underlined by the fact that till the year of 2000 it had a status of the national road, marked as DK83.

They were located as a rule on the urban area, e.g. in Krupe, Łyne, a road crossing point in Krasnystaw.

We can even say, as the song says : “ you can feel it and hear”. You can hear it when you are located in one of the building nearby; you can feel it and hear when driving as a driver or a passenger of the car, especially when you are travelling with a low speed – the send as a loud train noise and feel bumping, especially when your car has older springs.
