Poloniny National Park, National park in Snina District, Slovakia

The forested mountains of Poloniny National Park extend across 29,805 hectares along the borders of Slovakia, Poland, and Ukraine.

The park received its formal national park designation in 1997 and gained UNESCO World Heritage status in 2007 for its ancient beech forests.

The name Poloniny stems from the Rusyn language, referring to the mountain meadows that characterize the upper reaches of the Bukovské Mountains.

The village of Nová Sedlica functions as the primary entry point for visitors exploring the marked hiking trails through the park's wilderness.

This national park contains Slovakia's only free-roaming European bison population and preserves the largest complexes of original beech-fir forests in Europe.
