Terespol is a border town in eastern Poland, on the frontier with Belarus. It lies on the Bug, the border river, directly opposite the city of Brest in Belarus, which makes it one of the key crossing points between the two countries. The town had 5,794 inhabitants in 2014. Its position on the road and rail route towards Minsk and Moscow has given it a role as a gateway between Poland and the east, and it appears by name in a novel by the Nobel Prize winning Yiddish writer Isaac Bashevis Singer. It sits in the Lublin Voivodeship, in the east of the country.
