All hiking trails and nature paths in Bieszczady National Park are open for tourists. 

The thickness of the snow cover oscillates between 10-70 cm, locally 150 cm. The old, frozen snow and ice are covered with the few centimetres of fresh snow. The paths and wooden elements of infrastructure are icy and slippery. Please be careful – slipping on an icy slope or frozen snow may lead to a dangerous fall. Low cloud ceiling and local fogs reduce visibility, pay attention to trail markings. First avalanche risk degree was announced.

Tourists choosing nature trails in the upper San valley must be prepared for inconveniences: the access road to Bukowiec is passable only to the bridge over the Halicz stream. Moreover, parking lots in Bukowiec and at the peat bogs in Tarnawa are covered in snow and closed. 

The yellow trail from Muczne to Bukowe Berdo peak has been temporarily changed in 1 km section (map). The new route has been marked on the ground. 

Please be careful and adapt the route to the current conditions and your capabilities. Current weather conditions can be checked on the Mountain Rescue Service and via a webcam.

All hiking trails in Bieszczady National Park are open, but the conditions in mountains are very difficult . Hiking requires the appropriate clothing, equipment (we recommend using crampons or anti-slip grips).  Less frequented sections of the trails (for example: Pszczeliny Widełki- Bukowe Berdo, Wetlina - Rabia Skała, Suche Rzeki - Smerek) are snowbound. The remaining sections are accessible, but locally icy or covered in fresh snow by sudden gusts of wind. The thickness of the snow cover oscillates between 20-70 cm, in the peak areas locally over 120 cm.  Second (moderate) avalanche risk degree was announced. Hiking in current conditions (fresh snowfall, low temperatures, strong wind and limited visibility) requires mountain experience and winter skills.

All hiking trails in the Bieszczady National Park are accesible, but locally icy and slippery. The thickness of the uneven snow cover oscillates between 10 cm in the lower parts and 60 cm on the leeward sides of the ridge. Hiking requires the appropriate equipment (we recommend using crampons or anti-slip grips). Please note that mountain shelters operate to a limited extent in accordance to the government regulations on preventing the spread of COVID-10 (for details please contact the shelter staff directly). Adapt planned route to current weather conditions and your mountain experience. Plan the trip so that you can come back safely before dusk - wandering in snow significantly extends the trip duration. 

Please remember that for safety reasons in the Park we hike only on marked trails. Skiing is allowed on marked sections of hiking trails and on cross-country skiing routes around Wetlina and Wołosate villages. We remind you that, according to the Park regulations, downhill skiing, sledding etc. is strictly forbidden. For the safety of other tourists, please do not slide on snow souncers etc. on hiking trails. This causes icing of the trail and exposes hikers to slipping and falling.

In winter, admission to the Park is free. We try to keep parking lots in Wołosate, Brzegi Górne, Wyżniańska Pass and Ustrzyki Górne cleared of snow. Parking fees are charged according to the winter season price list. We also provide free toilets at the parking lot in Wołosate and three dry toilets located on the trails: Wyżna Pass - trail towards Połonina Wetlińska, Bukowska Pass and in Wetlina - trail towards Orłowicza Pass.

Current weather conditions can be checked on the Mountain Rescue Service and via our webcam.
