Easy, short and scenic trail in the heart of Bieszczady. One of the few mountain trails in Bieszczady where you can take a stroller.
How to get to the shelter under Rawki?
The shortest route leads from Przełęcz Wyżniańska in Brzegi Górne. You can reach here by bus (unfortunately, the bus stop does not have a current schedule, but buses traveling on the Wetlina - Ustrzyki Górne route should stop here). There is also a spacious paid parking for those traveling by car.
The parking area also has a Bieszczady National Park information point (entrance tickets, souvenirs) and toilets. From Przełęcz Wyżniańska, we have two trails to choose from: a steep ascent to Połonina Caryńska or the route to Rawki through the bacówka (shepherd's hut).
Green trail from Przełęcz Wyżniańska to Bacówka pod Małą Rawka
The path to the shelter under Rawki is a comfortable, wide, stony road.
Of course, it goes uphill, but gently enough that you can easily push a stroller with larger wheels or accompany someone with disabilities. It is a good trail for young children taking their first steps on mountain trails and also suitable for seniors.

...after just a few minutes of walking, you will see the entire "Bieszczadzki Worek" (Bieszczady Bag), which includes the panorama of Bukowe Berdo, Krzemień, Szeroki Wierch, and Tarnica:
In fact, it's best to turn around! Here is a 360-degree panorama from the road to the shelter under Rawki:
Bacówka pod Małą Rawka
After about 30-40 minutes of a leisurely walk, you will reach the shelter: bacówka pod Małą Rawka. The shelter offers accommodation, a camping area, simple dishes, drinks, and souvenirs.
It is worth visiting not only for a souvenir stamp but also to try the local cuisine! During the season, the famous blueberry pancakes are a must-try:
To reach the shelter, there are high stairs - not suitable for strollers... However, you can sit and rest on the meadow, near the benches and tables around the shelter.
Note! Although the trail passes through the Bieszczady National Park, you can hike with a dog (section: Przełęcz Wyżniańska - Bacówka pod Małą Rawka, but dogs are not allowed from bacówka to Mała Rawka starting from 2023 according to the planned regulations of Bieszczady National Park).
