About The Bieszczady Mountains
The area of Bieszczady occupies the south-eastern fringe of Poland in the borderland of Slovakia and Ukraine. Bieszczady region stretches from the Łupków Pass (Przełęcz Łupkowska) in the west to the Użocka Pass (Przełęcz Użocka) in the east, with the highest peak of the Tarnica Mountain (1346metres above the sea level). The region is characterised by widespread mountain meadows, mountain passes and gorges. It is often said that the mountains here are “cabbage-like”. Its peripheral location near the country border which facilitates the diffusion of customs, cultures, nations and languages has created the specific atmosphere and character of the region. Carpathian passes have for ages been the active centre of trade exchange with numerous trade routes. The region was inhabited by the Poles, the Russians and the Jews together for a long time. In the second half of the twentieth century the region became enlivened due to active exploration of crude oil in the region. Now in Bóbrka in the Ignacy Łukasiewicz Museum of Petroleum and Gas Industry you can see the largest collection of kerosene lamps in Europe.
The course of the Second World War and the events of the immediate post-war period led to the total depopulation of the area of Bieszczady. After the war these lands were re-populated almost from the very beginning. Within the regulation of the borderline Poland received ca. 480km2 of land to the north of the San River with Lutowiska and Ustrzyki Dolne in 1951. Settlements in the region of Bieszczady were never stimulated by industry as industry never developed on a wider scale in this area. What makes this region unique in Europe is precisely this lack of industry added to the lack of noise or bustle of big cities. This is where you can breathe deeply with extremely pure air and drink crystal clean water from mountain streams or springs. The nature here is the most precious treasure and particularly valuable areas are protected within two national parks: the Bieszczady National Park and the Cisna-Wetlina National Park, as well as five natural landscape parks and many wildlife reserves. These are the places where you can rest and “load your batteries” in freedom, space, smells, sounds and breath-taking views. These are the only places where you can walk or ride a horse for kilometres of routes and pass the ruins of old settlements without meeting another person. Bieszczady area makes it possible for you to practise such sports as: horse-riding, cycling, running, walking, visting Orthodox churches along the wooden architecture route, hiking, water sports on the Solina and Myczkowce lakes, paragliding and in winter it is the paradise for skiers on over 25 different ski lifts with varied levels of difficulty. In the area there are numerous museums as well as the Open-air Ethnographic Museum in Sanok. Due to the presence of mineral springs, the region is well-known for its numerous resorts, the oldest of which are Iwonicz Zdrój, Rymanów Zdrój or Polańczyk.
The festival “Bieszczadzkie Anioły” during which you can sing and listen to poetry seems to be the greatest poetic stage event which has been held already for several years but still attracts loads of enthusiasts of poetic songs of the type of Kraina Łagodności.
The region of Bieszczady is a source of inspiration for artist photographers, painters or writers.
Attention should also be drawn to the Bieszczady forestry railway called “ciuchcia bieszczadzka”, the symbol of tourism in Bieszczady, stretching today for 13km on the Majdan-Przysłup section. Another exquisite attraction is rafting on the San river which goes from Sanok to Międzybrodzie, along the Landscape Park of Słonne Mountains.
In Krościenko nearby Ustrzyki Dolne there is a border crosing with Ukraine from where trips to Lviv can be organised.
In the area of Bieszczady there are also a lot of non-standard farms of fallow deer, ostriches or Scottish mountain cattle.
