BIESZCZADY FORESTS - THE BOUNDLESS FOREST

Bieszczady - The Heart of Wild Forests

Bieszczady, from the gateway of the Bieszczady Mountains, which is considered to be the Galician city of Lesko, to the very edge, the so-called Bieszczady sack - the area around the source of the San River, abounds in forests. Forest complexes are intersected by numerous roads - slopes. On the area of 292 thousand km2, you can find mainly deciduous and mixed forests, and 15% of them are primary. High peat bogs can be found in the upper San River valley, e.g. Tarnawa, Dźwiniacz and Łokieć. The Bieszczady forest districts have discovered the tourist potential of these roads and made some of them available to tourists - hikers and cycling enthusiasts. This way, we can safely and pleasantly enjoy the delights of forest hiking.

The Baligrod Forest District also includes the famous Orthodox Church in Łopienka and the Sine Wiry Nature Reserve in the valley of the mountain river Wetlinka.

Mountain forest districts - Cisna, Lutowiska - also offer marked forest trails on their territory, including nature trails and educational trails. Bison Showcase Homestead in Muczne, the Krywe Reserve in the upper San River valley, and walking paths in the Tarnawa bogs are also worth a visit.

Quite a few of the most interesting routes have been marked. A number of small architectural objects such as shelters, wooden bridges over streams, benches and separate fire places have been built here.

Parking areas at the entrances to selected trails are also available.
