Sanok-Turka Mountains, Mountain range in Eastern Beskids, Poland and Ukraine.

The Sanok-Turka Mountains extend across 930 square kilometers between the San and Stryi river valleys, featuring parallel mountain ridges separated by river valleys.

The Battle of Wiar in 1099 resulted in significant Hungarian casualties, with over 8,000 soldiers falling under King Coloman's command in these mountains.

The mountains received their dual name from the city of Sanok and the Ukrainian town of Turka, reflecting the mixed Polish-Ukrainian heritage of this border region.

The highest accessible peak for Polish visitors is Jaworniki at 909 meters, while the absolute summit Magura Łomniańska at 1,024 meters stands on Ukrainian territory.

The mountain range contains several ski resorts, including Kamienna Laworta and Gromadzyń, yet lacks traditional mountain shelters or student lodges.
