In the green Beskids

The Low Beskids are an exceptional region created by not very high mountains and hills covered with forests – Lackowa, their highest peak, does not rise above 1,000 m. However, they always delight with nature, the aroma of mushrooms and stories of people who used to inhabit this area. The air is crystal clear as there are no big cities or industrial areas. In the valleys you will find small villages, where Lemko people would live. They were Wallachian shepherds, God-fearing and hard-working people who, later on, were called Lemkos. They established their settlements, built chyże (Lemko cottages) and erected their Orthodox churches on hills. After the Second World War they were forcefully resettled and had to leave their households, roadside shrines and wooden temples behind.

These mountains and the heritage of Lemkos create the uniqueness of the Low Beskids and Uście Gorlickie Commune. Life has its own pace there but still the region abounds in attractions. Tourists hike in the mountains, visit small museums or wooden temples listed as UNESCO sites and spend time by Klimkówka Lake. They take advantage of small guest houses and guest rooms located in small villages of the Low Beskids. They benefit from peaceful places which allow relaxation and contact with nature which, consequently, let them leave their stressful life in a big city behind.
