Roh, Mountain summit in Bieszczady National Park, Poland
Roh is a mountain summit in the Bieszczady range, located within a national park in southeastern Poland. From the top, hikers can see across dense forest and open grassland that spread throughout the region.
The area became a protected national park in 1973, transforming it from a timber-harvesting zone into a nature reserve. Before this date, forests here were actively logged.
This peak stands in territory once home to the Lemko people, a mountain community with their own distinct customs and ways of life. Visitors today can see remnants of their former settlements scattered across the region.
Several marked hiking trails lead to the summit through the park, with spring and autumn offering the best hiking weather. The weather can change quickly at higher elevations, so proper gear is recommended.
The summit offers a vantage point for spotting large predators such as wolves, bears, and lynxes that roam freely in this Carpathian section. While the animals themselves are rarely glimpsed, signs of their presence remind visitors that this protected zone is home to animals that have largely disappeared elsewhere in Europe.
