1. What is it?
It’s a stunning mountain range and Poland’s largest National Park with (mostly) unspoilt nature and some rare wild animals like wolves and brown bears.
2. Where is it?
You’d need to travel to the extreme south-east corner of Poland. The mountain range spans three countries (Poland, Slovakia and Ukraine)
3. Why bother?
It’s a hikers’ heaven and it’s wild. It’s not unusual to hear wolves at night, while brown bears roam free in the more remote parts of the mountains too. Plus the views are breath-taking.
4. And you don’t want to miss…
Apart from the nature, there are quite a few man-made structures you’ll see over and over again in Bieszczady. look out for the old road shrines and crosses, often well-maintained despite being in a remote location.
5. Want to know more?
