Połonina Wetlińska, Mountain grassland in Bieszczady National Park, Poland

The mountain ridge extends for 8 kilometers through the Bieszczady Mountains, reaching its highest point at Roh Peak at 1255 meters above sea level.

During World War I, the ridge served as a battleground between Russian and Austrian forces, with military positions established along its length.

The name Połonina originates from traditional pastoral activities, as local villagers used these elevated grasslands for cattle grazing over many generations.

The yellow trail from Wyżne Mountain Pass leads to Chatka Puchatka mountain shelter, which operates as the highest accommodation point in the Bieszczady region.

The mountain shelter houses a meteorological station and rescue service post while collecting rainwater for basic operations due to the absence of running water.
