Tips from the Community
Tokarnia, a peak at 778 meters above sea level, offers stunning and expansive views of the Bukowskie Foothills and the Bieszczady Mountains. Finally, a forest-free peak. It's beautiful and peaceful here—it's hard to believe that heavy fighting took place here during World War II. It's an open clearing, so the wind can blow tourists away quite hard.

An interesting Greek Catholic cemetery right by the road is worth a look. It turns out that the Main Beskid Trail offers more than just mountains!

According to the plan, on April 19, 2024, the pedestrian and vehicle footbridge over the Wisłok River was officially opened for use. The total cost of building this facility is PLN 4,606,648.64. (...) The new crossing connects two parts of Besko divided by the Wisłok River and will serve the residents of the commune moving on foot, on two-wheelers or by passenger cars to school, library, church, cultural center, nursery, sports facilities, commune and post offices, police station, shops or their own homes. It significantly shortens the route to the above-mentioned facilities and, most importantly, directs local pedestrian and car traffic away from the busy and dangerous national road no. 28. (...)

The square is nicely lit at night, as if from below. Small architecture, benches, monument. In the summer season, next to the square there is an open ice cream stand from the Jagusia confectionery from Krosno. Scoop PLN 6.50, approx. 10 flavors. I recommend mascarpone with raspberry and coffee with walnut. 😀 Behind the square, on the same side of the road, there is an Orthodox church on a hill. Closer to the Wisłok River, on the other side of the main street (DK28), there is a sports and bicycle shop. Hiking tourists who do not have cars can reach Besko by Kubuś buses serving the Krosno - Zarszyn - Sanok route. WW

Rzepedka (708 m above sea level) is one of the most scenic peaks in the Low Beskids. We will reach the peak following the trail of the good soldier Švejk from Szczawne. You can leave your car in front of the church. The old Lemko name of the peak is Rożynkania, meaning a horn-shaped mountain. From the top you can see the Low Beskids, the Bieszczady Mountains, the Sanocko-Turczańskie Mountains and even the Tatra Mountains.

Nice peak with an exposed clearing. At the top there is a telecommunication transmitter. There is also a bench.

The present temple (...) in the neo-gothic style was built in the years 1882-1886 in place of the old wooden church. (...) During the First and Second World War, the front line passed through Bukowsko, but the temple itself survived. It was not until 1946 that the UPA bands burned down the whole of Bukowsko, only the church and a few houses survived. After the burning, some of the inhabitants returned and some left to the west. (...) The interior polychrome made in tempera by the painter Leonard Winturowski from Krakow comes from 1911 and was renovated in 1982-1983 by Kazimierz Florek from Sanok. On the so-called On the rainbow under the vault there is a large painting of the Queen of the Polish Crown receiving homage from Polish saints and representatives of Polish society. Above the main entrance, on the outer pediment, there is a statue of Our Lady made of cast iron, imported in 1903 from Paris. Source and more: http://www.bukowsko.przemyska.pl/?page_id=43
