Beskid Sadecki, in Malopolskie Province (or Voivodeship), is a remote mountain range with rolling hills covered with vast swathes of primeval forest. It stretches down south through Slovakian border which can be crossed while hiking. It’s full of picturesque little towns and villages scattered along the streams in numerous valleys. It’s also a home to many wild animals and plants, like foxes, wild boars, snakes (including vipers), lynxes, deer and even bears (although I have never heard about anyone encountering a bear).
The area is not as popular and touristy as Tatra mountains region lying at the foot of the town of Zakopane. If you wish to have a total break from civilization, choose the trails of Beskid Sadecki, you will have a chance to realize how little we, humans and our modern civilization mean when compared with the vastness greatness of the nature. No people, no cities, only endless space.
Walking the forest trails, trying some local, organic foods and discovering the traditions that are slowly being displaced by modern style of life give unforgettable experience and allow you to enter a different world, the world of the past when people lived in total harmony with the nature.
