Abstract
The area of eastern Poland, referred to as ‘the eastern wall’, is a rarity on a European scale. Unique landscapes have been preserved here, shaped in the past by the representatives of the nations, religions and cultures, which coexisted in this area. In this part of Poland — currently almost homogenous in terms of ethnical structure — elements that document stormy periods of historic development have been permanently inscribed in the landscape. In the present study, we perceive landscape as a historically shaped fragment of geographic space, which is the outcome of environmental and cultural interactions. The picture forms a specific structure, which manifests itself in the individual regional character of physiognomy. It is a synthesis of the natural environment and man’s activities. A natural environment comprises the whole of the natural conditions that provide a basis for man’s economic activity.
