Podlesie Duże [pɔdˈlɛɕɛ ˈduʐɛ] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Radecznica, within Zamość County, Lublin Voivodeship, in eastern Poland.[1]

Podlesie Structure

The village is located in a cuphole that has unusual features for the area - it is perfectly round, has a flat bottom and a narrow outlet. In 2004, a hypothesis emerged that it may be the remnant of a 4 km diameter meteorite crater created in the Neogene period.[2]
