Czarny Dział

Czarny Dział is a mountain summit in Beskid Niski reaching about 1000 meters in elevation, with views across the surrounding landscape. Multiple marked trails approach the peak from different trailheads, making it accessible to hikers of varying experience levels.

The summit area served as a crossing point for various ethnic groups over centuries, including Polish, Slovak, and Lemko populations who traveled through these mountains. The routes and settlements here reflect the long use of these mountain passes as corridors connecting neighboring regions.

Traditional mountain shelters nearby display regional architectural styles and serve local mountain dishes to hikers. These places reflect how mountain communities have adapted their daily routines to the rhythm of high-altitude living.

The peak is reached via marked trails, with most routes being easiest to walk during spring through fall under normal conditions. Winter months can bring snow and ice that require extra equipment or experience, so visitors should check seasonal conditions and plan accordingly.

The mountain slopes contain specific microclimates supporting rare plant species found only in this part of the range. This special ecology develops from the elevation and wind exposure, creating a distinct natural character at this location.
