Kalnica
Few places in the Bieszczady have a history as closely tied to the post-war displacement of the region’s Boyko community as Kalnica. This small settlement lies in the Wetlina valley, amid wooded ridges and meadow clearings in south-eastern Poland. It belongs to the Western Bieszczady, a lightly settled part of the Carpathians where long forested slopes alternate with broad pastoral valleys. The upheavals of the 1940s transformed many communities here, including Kalnica; open land around the village still reflects an older highland farming tradition. Kalnica is part of the Subcarpathian Voivodeship, in the landscape surrounding the Bieszczady National Park region.

Kalnica sits in the Bieszczady Mountains in Poland’s Subcarpathian Voivodeship, where wooded Carpathian ridges and narrow valleys shape a sparsely settled borderland. The hamlet stands on the road between Cisna and Wetlina, two important bases for exploring this part of the range. Nearby Bieszczady National Park protects extensive beech and fir forests as well as the high grassy poloniny characteristic of the Eastern Carpathians. The region’s settlement history bears the imprint of Polish, Boyko and other communities. Browse additional webcams from the Bieszczady Mountains to extend your view of southeastern Poland.

Built around the Carpathian foothills and the upper San River basin, Subcarpathian Voivodeship grew into Poland’s southeastern borderland region. Rzeszów, the regional capital, is its main urban centre, while the land rises southward towards the Low Beskids and Bieszczady Mountains. The San and its tributaries cut through valleys of farmland and forest, linking small towns with the higher Carpathian interior. Wooden Roman Catholic churches and Orthodox tserkvas reflect centuries of Polish and Ukrainian cultural contact, and several local tserkvas form part of a UNESCO World Heritage listing. Continue through the area to see how this part of southeastern Poland connects regionally.

Poland stretches from the Baltic Sea coast in the north to the Carpathian Mountains along its southern frontier, encompassing broad lowlands, lake districts and upland ranges. The Vistula, the country’s longest river, links Kraków and Warsaw before reaching the Baltic near Gdańsk, while the Masurian Lake District is defined by a dense network of lakes. Kraków’s historic centre, including Wawel Castle, recalls Poland’s former royal capital; Warsaw’s rebuilt Old Town speaks to the city’s recovery after the Second World War. The Białowieża Forest preserves one of Europe’s last primeval lowland forests and is home to European bison. Follow how Poland’s regions relate to one another by browsing webcams across the country.
