Nowy Łupków
Nowy Łupków is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Komańcza, within Sanok County, Subcarpathian Voivodeship, in south-eastern Poland, close to the border with Slovakia. It lies approximately south of Komańcza, south of Sanok, and south of the regional capital Rzeszów. The village has a population of 390.
The village emerged when the local railway station was built in 1872, along the line from Zagórz to then-Hungarian-owned Slovakia. At first, its inhabitants were mostly working on the railways. Currently, it is the southernmost railroad station in Poland, and a rail border crossing with Slovakia. In 1890-1898 the village was also linked with narrow-gauge Bieszczadzka Forest Railway.
A penal colony was built here after the Second World War, in which a number of Solidarność representatives were imprisoned during the Martial law in Poland period in 1981 and 1982.
