The Połoniny National Park covers the area of Bukovské Vrhov, mountains neighboring directly with the Polish Bieszczady Mountains. It is the least visited national park in Slovakia. The vast majority of its area is overgrown with original beech forests, which have been inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
The Połoniny National Park is an area of ancient forests and deep, groundbreaking river valleys. They are mainly inhabited by Ruthenians and Gypsies. Traditional villages and former craft workshops, such as forges, foils and mills, have been preserved in the villages. The park also includes the Starina dam lake.
Tourist routes in the park lead largely through uninhabited wilderness. Wanderers are rare here. There are no shelters, only camping sites designated by the park. Often you can come across wild animals such as deer, roe deer, wild boars, elks and even bison, for which it is the largest refuge in Slovakia.
