Tag - Pułaski Pass

Pułaski Pass – a pass at an altitude of 761 m a.s.l. in the Low Beskid Mountains in Poland. It is located on the Polish-Slovak border. It separates Ostry Wierch (930 m a.s.l.) in the north from Lackowa (997 m a.s.l.) in the south. The western slopes descend to the Biała River, which has its sources just below the pass. An alder forest, rarely seen at this altitude, grows here. The eastern slopes descend to the Teplica Stream valley on the Slovak side.

The area of ​​the pass is covered with mixed forest, from a small clearing above the pass on the slopes of Lackowa there is an interesting view of Ostry Wierch and Biała.

The name of the pass refers to events from the time of the Bar Confederation – the shortest route connecting the confederate camps above Izby and in Blechnarka led through the pass. It was the fortified camp in Izby that in 1770 was the main base of Kazimierz Pułaski, one of the most important commanders of the confederation, from where he led his troops to Przemyśl.

The red-marked Slovak hiking trail Východokarpatská magistrála leads through the pass.
