Wonderful wilderness of the Bieszczady Mountains

by Bushman23 - last update: Mar 10, 2009

Finally back in the mountains

All smiles on day 1 :)
Well, it's only the second time i've been to the mountains in Poland, and even though the weather wasn't so great this time, the wilderness was fantastic - completely different to the Tatra's, 3 years earlier! The trip there was pretty long (took me, personally, 14 hours or so), and the trip back also took about 12 hours - in worse weather conditions though!
The last of the good weather

The plan

We'd planned on climbing 3 mountains in 3 days - not too tough by most standards - but unfortunately only managed to get up 2, with the weather on Saturday meaning the best we could do was a drive through a small reserve... On the way back to Lublin (and later Siedlce), we stopped at the Solina dam - also quite an awsome site, even in the mist!
The dam...
Anyway, all in all we had a great time, and some very good exercise, in one of Polands most beautiful, and desolate, regions. Wild animals abound (the bears had woken up shortly before our arrival), and it's a great place to lose yourself (metaphorically)...

Pros:"Not as touristy as Zakopane"
Cons:"A long way away from anywhere"
In A Nutshell:"I would come back here in a heartbeat!"
