Dear Visitors! We are pleased to announce that we have opened a new hiking trail: Przełęcz Wyżna (Wyżna Pass) (972 m) - Dział (1103 m). It is marked in yellow.

The new section is an extension of the yellow trail Połonina Wetlińska - Przełęcz Wyżna. The entrance to the new trail is on the right side of the parking lot. Please be careful when passing through the parking plate! The route leads mainly through a forested, mild slope to the Dział mountain ridge, where it connects with the green trail. From this point you can walk along the green trail either towards Mała Rawka Peak or to Wetlina village.

Walking time: 1 hour 10 min up and 40 min down.

We remind you that tickets to the Bieszczady National Park can be purchased at the cash and information points at the entrances to the trails or online  - bdpn.eparki.pl.

Today the renovation of the blue hiking trail from Bukowe Berdo towards the Goprowska Pass has begun. At this stage of work the dome of the Bukowe Berdo peak will be secured and a short section of steps (protection against the soil erosion) will be built in, thanks to which loose (dangerous) rock rubble will be removed. Please be careful and follow the instructions of the field service.

Below we present some important remarks for the long June weekend, because we expect increased tourist turnout, and we want you toprepare yourself best for a mountain hike.

1. Weather conditions do not spoil us. Recently, in some places in the Bieszczady mountains during the day fell as much rain as usually during whole month. There were also flooding in the few villages. Heavy rain affect the condition of the hiking trails as well.

2. Over the weekend changeable weather with periods of rain is forecast. After the rainfall hiking trails are muddy and very slippery, especially in sections, where there is no pernament ground protection (for example wooden gravel steps, wooden bog bridges and boardwalks). Remember to prepare yourself well for going to the mountains.

3. The mountain schelter on Połonina Wetlińska ("Chatka Puchatka") is under renovation and it is not possible to enter the construction site. Such rules apply throughout the country. Hiking is permitted only on marked hiking trails, natural and historical paths. Be sure to read the markings. The Park Service will be on duty all the time and will ensure compliance with the Park rules, of course also providing tourist information.

4. The yellow trail from Wyżna Pass to Połonina Wetlińska has changed its features (especially after rainstorms) and is not so easy now. We strongly advise the elderly and families with small children against choosing this trails. In addition, we inform that the area on both sides of the road is not our property (parking lot and accompanying infrastructure).

5. Vehicles can be parked only in the parking lots (recently road services have improved the exits from public roads to the parking lots, and thus the safety conditions have improved).

6. In Wołosate village cars can be parked only in two BdPN car parks, and when they are full in the area of the horse stable. It is better to use our parking lots (18 PLN for the whole day) than to get a penalty ticket (highly likely). In the vicinity of car parks we provide free toilets. You will also find there a restaurant, educational room and outdoor exhibition

7. You can already use wooden infrastructure. Remember about keeping social distance!

8. Admission to the hiking trails in the Park area is payable (ticktes can be purchased in information and cash points at the begginin of each trail - only in cash or online via the website eParki. The price list in available in our regulations.

9. A stretch of a road to Bukowiec, located in the enclave of the BNP in Tarnawa Niżna, next to the San River, is in a very bad technical condition. We strongly advise both drivers and bikers to exercise extreme caution. Please note, that the aforementioned stretch of the road is not a property of the BNP.

10. All hiking trails are available. Please be wise in the mountains! 

All hiking trails are open. 

After almost three weeks of rainfall in the Bieszczady mountains area, hiking trails are muddy and very slippery, especially in sections, where there is no pernament ground protection (for example wooden gravel steps, wooden bog bridges and boardwalks). There is an especially difficult situation on the new section of yellow trail from Wyżna Pass to Połonina Wetlińska peak (trail repair is in progress).

Most of the places which are now difficult to cross, with very high soil erosion, will be renovated this season. The mountain shelter on Połonina Wetlińska is closed and under renovation. In summer season we are planning to open the shepard's hut on Połonina Wetlińska and create new hiking trails. 

Thank you for your understanding  and patience.
