How to dress in the mountains?

  • Wear comfortable shoes with a vibrator that extends above the ankle. Remember: inmountainsthere is always mud. Sneakers and sports shoes do not work!
  • Dress in layers so that you can easily adjust the clothes to the weather and your effort. You will sweat as you go uphill and it can be chilly at stops and on ridges. Remember that wind blows very often in the mountain pastures.

What to bring to the mountains: additional clothes

  • A jacket that protects against rain and wind;
  • Warm sweater or fleece;
  • Regardless of the weather, keep a hat, scarf and gloves on hand!

What provisions in the mountains?

  • Take a thermos with hot tea. At the top, it will be as it was found!
  • Take a supply of the so-called quick calories (e.g. chocolate). In the event of a crisis, he will immediately give you strength.

What to take to the mountains: tourist's must-have

  • Even if you are going on a short trip, put a flashlight in your backpack with spare batteries and matches. Let them not be useful.
  • Take a good map and compass. Even if you are planning a hike on the trails, they will be useful for making panoramas. And if you get lost, they'll help you get home.
  • Take a cell phone (preferably switched off). Before going to the mountains, write down the number of GOPR in it. The national emergency telephone number is 0-601-100-300.

Don't be afraid, but remember the dangers

  • For example, bears, bison and wolves live in the Bieszczady Mountains, but you have little chance of meeting them eye to eye. They run away from people.
  • The terrible roars you hear while wandering through the forest make deer. It lasts at the turn of September and Octoberrut.
