In the Bieszczady Mountains [antikvár]

Occupying an area of about 1,000 square kilometres (385 square miles) in the southeastern tip of Poland, the Bieszczady Mountains are remarkable for their distinct regional character. In the west fhey are separated from Beskid Niski (Lower Beskid Mountains) by a line that runs from Rzepedz along the Ostawica Valley and parallel to the standard-gauge railway line to Nowy Lupkow, and from there to Lupkowska Pass on the Czechoslovak border.On the south, the Polish Bieszczady range comes right to the Czechoslovak border from the tupkowska Pass through the following peaks: Wysoki Grori (904 metres or 2,964 ft. in altitude), Rypi Wierch (1,000 metres or 3,280 ft.), Okr^glik (1,098 metres or 3,600 ft.), Dziurkowiec (1,190 metres or 3,904 ft.) to Krzemieniec (1,214 metres or 3,980 ff.). From there the range runs along the frontier of the Soviet Union through Wielka Rawka (1,302 metres or 4,270 ft.), Beskid Wotosacki (1,104 metres or 3,670 ft.), Rozsypaniec (1,273 metres or 4,175 ft.), Opotonek (the southernmost tip of Poland 1,029 metres or 3,375 ft.) to the Uzocka Pass and the San River which has its source there.The eastern boundary (at the same time the national frontier with the U.S.S.R.) runs along the upper reaches of the San River, from *he Uzocka Pass to Smolnik on the San.It is not as easy to mark the northern edge of the Bieszczady range. With the character of these mountains in mind, we can draw the northern line from Rzepedz through Turzansk, Baiigrod, Wotkowyja, through the San River lagoon near Solina, then through Rajskie, hence below the northwestern slope of Otryt.For transportation and economic reasons, we are inclined to extend the tourist region of Bieszczady to include the Ostawa Valley to Zagorze and from there approximately
