2. ARE YOU INTO NATURE?
• This presentation is about Bieszczady. Bieszczady is a great area of
greenery and wildlife where people live peacefully. Are you into
nature? You will love it!
3. BIESZCZADY
• It is a mountainous and foothill area, sparsely
populated. The land structure is dominated by
forests,accounting for about 70% of the area.

• Exhibition Bison enclosure in Muczne
• Ride on a Bicycle Draisine in Uherce Mineralne
• Lesko Aquarius Swimming pool
5. SOLINA
• The Solina Dam is one of the biggest tourist
attractions of this village and also of the whole
Bieszczady within its tourist limits (and certainly
for those who are not fond of trips to the
mountains). After entering the dam, a beautiful
view of the Solinski Reservoir opens up on its right
side, although due to its intricacy, only a small part
of the reservoir can be seen from the dam. If you
look down toward the surface of the lake, you'll
notice a fair number of fish swimming by the dam
just below the surface of the water.
6. BIESZCZADZKA
KOLEJKA LEŚNA
• Established at the end of the 19th century, the
Bieszczady narrow-gauge railroad has since
become an integral part of the Bieszczady
landscape. In the past it was tens of kilometers
long and had many branches. In the early 1990s it
was closed completely and then restored thanks
to the efforts of the Bieszczady Forest Railway
Foundation. Today it is considered one of the best
tourist products of the Podkarpacie region and is
very popular among tourists, running on routes
from Majdan to Przysłup and Balnica.
7. EXHIBITION BISON
ENCLOSURE IN
MUCZNE
• An area of about 7 hectares has been created
where you can observe bison in their natural
habitat. Entrance here is free, and the animals can
be viewed every day from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. It
is worth coming here when the animals are fed:
13-14 p.m. Bison breeding in the Bieszczady
Mountains was initiated in 1963 in an
acclimatization enclosure on the Zwir stream, and
the current enclosure is a continuation of that
breeding.
8. RIDE ON A BICYCLE
DRAISINE IN UHERCE
MINERALNE
• The project was launched in 2015 and is quite
popular. Draisine, as you can guess, is powered by
the power of tourists' legs. Such a bicycle platform
on rails. The rental office is located at the railroad
station in the village of Uherce Mineralne. For the
trip you can rush in two directions: in the direction
of Ustrzyki Dolne and Zagorze. In high season it is
worth booking tickets in advance.
9. LESKO AQUARIUS
SWIMMING POOL
• A place to cool off after an eventful day. Safe for
kids with an indoor and outdoor pool. There is
also a delicious fast food bar.
11. HAVE YOU SEEN THEM?
• The animal world of the Bieszczady National Park is characterized by great species richness.
• Do you know these predators?
12. LYNX
• The animal that stares out from the logo of the
Bieszczady National Park is a true showpiece of
the Bieszczady Mountains. And although it is
virtually impossible for a tourist to meet a lynx,
we can be proud that such a magnificent and
rare animal still thrives in the Bieszczady
backwoods.
13. BEAR
• The bear is the largest land carnivore, and the
maximum weight of Carpathian individuals
exceeds 350 kg. Despite its stocky, clumsy body, it
can run, jump, swim and climb trees and rocks
quickly. At a gallop over short distances, it reaches
speeds of more than 50 kilometers per hour.
14. WOLF
• Wolves have an excellent sense of smell, they can
smell their prey from a distance of 2.5 km. Wolves
are daltonists- they recognize mainly gray, yellow
and blue colors. Wolves see better at night,
during the day they see worse than humans.
When hunting, they can run at speeds of up to 50-
60 km/h.
15. FOX
• According to scientists, the statistical fox sleeps
about 10 hours a night. Interestingly, they can
share their burrows with other species, such as
badgers. A community that particularly
appreciates foxes is the Gypsies. This group
admires the redhead for its reliable instinct, which
saves it in difficult situations.
16. OTTER
• Otters do not have a natural enemy among
animals, but there are many other factors that
have a negative impact on their lives. One of
them, for example, is the increasing level of water
pollution, which extremely affects the viability of
otters.
17. HAVE YOU SEEN THEM?
• They were predators,but have you ever seen these herbivores often found in the
Bieszczady Mountains?
18. BISON
• The bison is Europe's largest land mammal. Males
can reach a weight of up to 900 kg, and females
600 kg. One animal can eat up to 10 tons of
diverse food in a year - mainly grasses, sedges
and other herbaceous vegetation, as well as
leaves, shoots and bark of trees and shrubs.
19. MOOSE
• Moose are fond of sweet taste, so they are most
likely to eat leaves that contain a lot of sugar.
These include, for example, leaves of birch, maple
or aspen, as well as aquatic plants. The animals
also like fruits. In Scandinavia, it happens that
moose eating fermented apples, which lie for a
long time under apple trees, come out completely
drunk.
20. DEER
• Deer live both in forest populations and in open
spaces like farmland and meadows. These very
agile and slender animals are very often subject to
attacks by predators. They fall prey to wolves,
dogs or lynxes. In addition to animals, they are
hunted by humans, for whom they are one of the
most popular game animals. Despite these
dangers lurking on them, they are counted
among the animals not in danger of extinction.
21. BOAR
• Boars are large strong animals, reaching weights
of up to 300 kg among males, capable of
accelerating to speeds as high as 50 km/h - a
speed definitely unattainable for us, even during
an adrenaline-charged run. What's more, the wild
boar can run at a trot, gallop or jump, and this is
even more impressive.
22. CARPATHIAN DEER
• The mating season of the deer is called the roaring season,
when spectacular fights between bulls occur. The name roar
comes from the sound the bulls make, which is how they
announce their presence and challenge potential rivals to a
fight. Bulls during this period are not very cautious and are
highly agitated. The roaring season takes place from the
end of August, throughout September and into October.
During this time there are fights between bulls, the
gathering of harems by so-called herd bulls and frequent
doe mating. During the roar, bulls hardly feed (they have
something else on their minds) and lose a lot of weight
(before the roar itself, bulls are said to be parched, during
the roar they can lose up to 1/3 of their body weight).
