Jałowiec, Mountain summit in Beskid Makowski range, Poland.
Jałowiec is a mountain summit in the Beskid Makowski range with a grassy peak accessible through forested slopes. Multiple marked hiking routes cross the terrain and pass through mixed woodland areas on their way up.
The mountain served as a border outpost during World War II, separating two different administrative zones. This military past shaped the terrain and pathways now used by hikers.
The summit draws local hikers who use the established paths as meeting points during their mountain outings. These routes connect villages in the valleys with the higher terrain above.
The climb from Koszarawa takes about 90 minutes on a well-marked path, while the route from Stryszawa Roztoki requires around 105 minutes. Both trails stay open year-round but need sturdy footwear and a moderate level of fitness.
An information panel at the top identifies and names every visible mountain peak surrounding the summit. This board helps visitors understand the wider mountain landscape they can see from this vantage point.
