Bieszczady National Park is the largest mountainous national park in Poland located in the range of Bieszczady which is subpart of Beskids mountain range which is part of the larger Carpathian Mountains range. Due to its remoteness and lack of economic/strategic relevancy it contains some of the most pristine nature in Poland. Commonly regarded in Poland as quiet refuge it is a great spot for hiking or even simple rest.
