Attractions and Places To See around Baligród - Top 20

Today we were in this tavern as a group of four. The facility has numerous dining rooms in the lower part, located below the entrance level and in the adjacent garden with umbrellas and on the first floor. Self-service (no waiters). Disabled people in wheelchairs have no chance here - stairs, narrow passages, a long queue of people to the window with orders, customers pushing each other with plates in both directions, narrow and winding access to the toilet (2 cabins and a claustrophobic corridor with a sink). We ordered pancakes in the style of Zbójnicka and they turned out to be delicious, and the portions were very generous. Tea is served in large glass cups (approx. 300 ml) for PLN 10 (not 150 ml as in some restaurants). The drawback is the long waiting time, which consists of waiting in the queue to place an order and then waiting for it to be fulfilled. In our case, it was an hour and 20 minutes (1h 20'). As for the end of the season - the second half of October, and not the middle of the holidays, is definitely too long. WW

Visiting this cottage is an interesting experience. The labyrinth conflicts with our eyesight and we don't know what is vertical and what is diagonally. As a result, we walk around dancing like on a yacht during a storm.

I captured the charm of this place in the video below: https://youtu.be/JqqRCnqr_2g?si=XGBA_DUxGnUnZ6Wn

To visit the cascade on Osława and see the beautiful arched reinforced concrete viaduct up close, you need to cross the barrier by the road and go about 400 m along the tracks of the closed narrow-gauge railway. Most of this section can be covered by bicycle riding on the left side of the track with caution, because it is narrow and the viaduct is in poor technical condition. The barriers are bent, rebars protrude from the structure in places and you have to be careful of your legs and bicycles. I absolutely advise against visiting at night! You can leave your bicycles on the viaduct and go down the steep wooden stairs to the Osława riverbed and walk a bit through the forest. This will allow you to see the structure of the viaduct from the bottom and the river bed, noiselessly overcoming large boulders. In this place, in the summer, some people lie on the beach, spreading blankets on the stones, and in the event of excessive heat, you can shelter from the sun under the trees. The Osława creates a meander around the ridge of the mountain, similarly to the San near Zwierzyń, where the fall of the river was used to build the Myczkowce hydroelectric power plant. Here in Osława there was also such an idea, but the investment did not come to fruition and the place retained its natural charm, which confirms the status of a nature reserve.

Beautiful river rapids, great view.

How to get to Kamień Leski This one of the most recognizable natural peculiarities of the region is located at the beginning of the village of Glinne, on the route from Lesko to Ustrzyki Dolne, approximately 5 km from Lesko. You can also get here along the green trail from Lesko (Lesko - Krysowa), or from Zwierzyń through Czulnia and the Baszta bicycle path. The place is marked, there is a small parking lot next to it. Kamień Leski (approx. 410-420 m above sea level) - is an extremely original monument of inanimate nature built of Krosno sandstone. It owes its bizarre shape to nature (erosive atmospheric influences) and the inhabitants of the surrounding area. In the 19th century, stone was mined at its foot. Two deep gaps with a vertical rock wall from the side of Glinne are still visible after the former quarry. Today, overgrown with a young forest, they add a special charm to this corner.

At the intersection of two roads leading to Ustrzyki and Solina, in the town of Uherce Mineralne, a new tourist attraction called Chatka Wariatka was created. The house on the roof in question stood on its "head" and is turned upside down. The inside of the cottage, on the other hand, is governed by gravity, making almost every visitor dizzy. The recently built attraction is very popular with visitors of all ages. The children scream with joy and the elders clutch their heads. We note unrestrained laughter in very large quantities :-) Chatka Wariatka is an interesting alternative for visitors whose aura has thwarted plans for hiking and rest by the famous Bieszczady "sea". The madhouse is located 8 km from Lesko, 17 km from Solina and 18 km from Ustrzyki Dolne. We invite visitors of all ages and we have prepared special places for those in love :-) Source: http://www.chatkawariatka.pl/

Firing is the place where Charcoal is produced. In the steel retorts designed by the Warsaw University of Life Sciences, mainly alder and beech are burned. There used to be a lot of accidents in the Bieszczady Mountains. Now the Polish ones have to compete with the Ukrainian ones. Often, near firings, there are booths in which Smolars live during the operation of the retorts. It is worth asking the tar maker. These are the real Bieszczady Mountains, they live in full contact and in the immediate vicinity of the Bieszczady forest, often many weeks away from larger settlements.
