Maków Beskids

The Maków Beskids stretch across southern Poland with peaks reaching moderate heights, covered by dense forests of coniferous and deciduous trees.

During the Middle Ages, these mountains formed natural borders between different territories and provided strategic routes for merchants traveling between Poland and neighboring regions.

The mountain communities maintain traditional wooden architecture, with local museums displaying tools, costumes, and artifacts representing centuries of regional craftsmanship.

A network of marked hiking trails connects various peaks throughout the range, with multiple entry points accessible from nearby towns through local bus services.

The mountains harbor populations of European brown bears and wolves, making this range among the few places in Poland where these large predators still roam freely.
