Overview
Wołosate to Tarnica is the Bieszczady signature: educational "tree and cross" markers through the story of a displaced Boyko village, Hucul horses at the trailhead, then beech forest ascent to Siodło and the open ridge to Poland's highest southern summit at 1,346 m.
Terrain moves from valley peat and foundations to dense forest stairs and finally exposed grass—wind, quick weather changes, and lightning risk are real on top. Mud and ice linger long in spring; the stair flights are a leg workout whenever wet.
National park fees and dog bans apply; plan for full exposure on the crest even when the valley feels mild. A pilgrimage hike for eastern Carpathian lovers who accept crowds on good weekends.
