Opołonek, Mountain peak in Bieszczady, Poland

The mountain Opołonek rises to 1028 meters in elevation and stands at the western edge of the Bieszczady range along the Polish-Ukrainian border.

During the 1970s, an electric fence with barbed wire was installed on Opołonek to prevent unauthorized border crossings between Poland and the Soviet Union.

The mountain serves as a testament to Polish-Ukrainian relations, with border markers still present from different historical periods, including pre-war Polish-Czechoslovak posts.

Accessing Opołonek requires special permits from both the Bieszczady National Park administration and Border Guard due to its protected status and border location.

The southeastern slope of Opołonek contains a saddle point that marks the southernmost geographical location within Polish territory.

Location: Gmina Lutowiska

Elevation above the sea: 1,028 m
