SUMMARY:Wild Weekend in Smerek
DESCRIPTION:Are you ready to go off the grid? 🌲 \n\n\n\nWe invite you to a wild autumn weekend in the heart of the Bieszczady Mountains — a place where civilization slowly fades away and nature takes over. Located in the south-eastern edge of Poland\, Bieszczady are known for their untamed character\, raw and often brutal history\, and unique flora and fauna not found in other Polish mountain ranges. They are also the only mountains in Poland that belong to the Eastern Carpathians\, just like the Ukrainian Chornohora or Polonina Rivna. \n\n\n\nJoin us for a weekend filled with mountain adventures\, breathtaking views of golden połoniny 🍂\, a ride on the iconic Bieszczadzka Forest Railway 🚂\, and evenings spent by the campfire 🔥 under one of the darkest skies in Poland ✨. Expect a mix of exploration\, learning\, and proper Bieszczady-style integration — including a legendary Zakapior Party 🍻. \n\n\n\nEscape the noise. Lose the signal. Find something better. \n\n\n\nEvent schedule\n\n\n\nThis is a preliminary\, approximate plan that may change depending on weather conditions\, circumstances\, or spontaneous ideas. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThursday\n\n\n\nFrom 15:00 to 18:00 – arrival at the accommodation (flexible hours\, you can arrive earlier or later)18:00 – 20:00 – dinnerEvening – game night at Przystanek Smerek\, integration and overnight stay \n\n\n\nFriday\n\n\n\n8:00 – 9:00 – breakfast9:00 – 10:00 – Introduction to Bieszczady (history and geography of the region)11:00 – 13:00 – ride on the Bieszczadzka Kolejka Leśna (Majdan – Balnica – Majdan route)13:00 – 14:00 – lunch in Cisna14:00 – 19:00 – mountain hike (most likely Połonina Wetlińska)19:00 – 21:00 – dinner at SiekieradaEvening – stargazing and campfire \n\n\n\n\n\nSaturday\n\n\n\n8:00 – 9:00 – breakfast9:00 – 10:00 – short introduction to the area we will explore10:00 – 19:00 – trip to the Sources of the San River – the southernmost point of Poland.
