The best cycling routes around gmina Czarna

For amateurs, it's better to take a correction for the ride time 😂

Wyżna Pass, located at an altitude of 872 m above sea level in the Western Bieszczady Mountains, is one of the most recognizable places in the region. The pass offers a magnificent panorama of Połonina Wetlińska, Połonina Caryńska and Tarnica, the highest peak of the Western Bieszczady Mountains. For road cyclists, it is an attractive point on the Great Bieszczady Loop route, offering well-maintained asphalt roads. There is a large parking lot, a bus stop and an inn on site, making it a convenient place to rest. It is also worth paying attention to the monument dedicated to Jerzy Harasymowicz, a poet associated with the Bieszczady Mountains.

These metal kilns are used for traditional charcoal burning, which for many years was an important part of the region's economy. They can be seen in various parts of the Bieszczady Mountains, where professional charcoal burners still work. The burning process takes several days and requires constant monitoring, making it an extremely demanding craft.

Situated at an altitude of 872 m above sea level. The Wyżna Pass, also called the Bereham Pass, separates the Połonina Wetlińska range from Dział. The road from Ustrzyki Górne to Wetlina and the hiking trail from Połonina Wetlińska to Dział run through the pass. At the pass there is a huge parking lot for cars (even for buses), and at the end of it there is a restaurant and a view point over the meadows. In short: it is a crowded, unpleasant place, but with a very nice view.

The village of Chmiel has existed since 1502. The first mention of an Orthodox church in the village dates back to 1584. A second wooden church was built (probably on the site of the old one) in 1795. It existed until 1904. The current church was built in 1906. After the war, the village found itself within the borders of the Soviet Union, but in 1951, as a result of the straightening of the borders, it returned to Poland. However, the residents did not return. The abandoned church began to fall into disrepair. In the 1960s, it was turned into a warehouse. In 1969, it was recovered and converted into a church. Next to the church, under a roof, there is a tombstone of Fieronia Orlicka, who died in 1644. She was originally buried in the church, but after it was demolished and another one was built, it ended up outside it. Partially covered with earth, it has survived to this day. In 2011 it was exposed. The roof under which it is located is a copy of the upper part of the former church bell tower.

A wonderful, scenic place to rest. There are benches, tables and a designated large fireplace area. But the best part is the view. You can see Połonina Wetlińska beautifully from here.

A monument in the form of a boulder with a plaque standing on the border of the Hulskie reserve. It is dedicated to the memory of prof. Stefan Myczkowski, a pioneer of Polish ecology. The monument was erected in 2014.
