Low Beskid, Mountain range between Lesser Poland and Slovakia.
The Low Beskid is a Carpathian range in southern Poland with forested hills formed from granite, gneiss and limestone. The gentle ridges are cut by valleys where small settlements lie between meadows and streams.
Since medieval times these mountains formed a border between Slavic and Hungarian settlement areas that remained contested for long. After the Second World War the population changed drastically when many inhabitants left the valleys.
Old wooden churches with shingled roofs dot the range and show the craftsmanship of earlier centuries. These sacred buildings often stand beside simple farmsteads and together form small village cores that locals continue to use today.
Hiking paths with colored markers run through the forests and connect mountain shelters with villages. In summer the trails are easy to walk while in winter snow makes access to higher elevations harder.
The European watershed runs over these mountains and separates rivers flowing to the Baltic Sea from those draining into the Black Sea. At certain spots you can stand on both sides and see where the water flows.
