Rozsypaniec, Mountain summit in Bieszczady National Park, Poland
Rozsypaniec is a mountain summit in Bieszczady National Park, Poland, rising to 1280 meters (4200 feet). Its slopes are covered in meadows with scattered boulders, forming the southeastern boundary of the park.
The mountain is part of the ancient Carpathian ridge system that extends across several countries. Over centuries, this formation has served as a natural border between different regions of Europe.
The name Rozsypaniec comes from Polish and refers to the scattered rock formations that characterize the mountain. Visitors notice these stone arrangements dotting the slopes throughout their climb.
The hike follows marked trails that wind through meadows and rocky terrain. You will need moderate fitness and sturdy hiking boots for the uneven ground.
The mountain sits at a special point where water flows in two different directions. Rain from the slopes reaches either the Baltic Sea or the Black Sea, depending on which side of the ridge it falls.
