03/26/09 | by admin [mail] 176 views   | Tags: Poland, Attraction

A paradise for romantics, lovers of nature and restless drifters. The soft green mountains peppered with traditional wooden churches are one of the most secluded areas in Europe. The extraordinary wildlife and picturesque landscapes make it an ideal holiday destination.

Bieszczady is the most beautiful in summer and autumn, whereas during winter they invite the fans of skiing.

Bieszczady is the Polish name for a section of the long Carpathian Arc between the Lupkowska and Uzhok passes, with a total length of 1560 km2. In short, the Bieszczady are ideal for those craving serenity: from the top of the treeless summits encircled by the green forests, one cannot help but simply marvel at the raw magnificence of nature. The beech is the most commonly found tree in the woodlands here, mixed with sycamore, fir and alder.

 

In the Bieszczady one can find some 900 species of vascular plants, including 42 species of plants protected in the Bieszczadzki National Park, which encompasses the highest sections of the Western Bieszczady Mountains. With approximately 200 unique species, the fauna of the Bieszczady is varied as well. Such big mammals as the European bison, brown bear, wild boar, lynx, wolf, deer and wildcat live here alongside many rare species of birds, including the Ural owl, golden eagle, Alpine hedge-sparrow and pipit.
