Educational path ‘Knieja’

Educational path ‘Knieja’ is situated in Nowosiolki, in the Lesko Forest District. It begins on the parking in front of the Hunting and Nature Museum ‘Knieja’ which in fact has one of the biggest collection of natural exhibits in Bieszczady Mountains. The highest point of the path is 548 m above sea level. Treasured natural values of the place make it definitely worth visiting. Most of the path leads through woods in which one can observe fragments of Carpathian primeval forest. Educational path in Nowosiolki was created in 2008 on the initiative of "Pro Carpathia" Association and gained a lot of attention. Thanks to the ‘Green Subcarpathia’ project the path was reintroduced and became more accessible for tourists. Revitalisation works included changes to the original course of the path, new trail blazes and information boards, setting up of a viewing point, shelter and benches. Special quest for the path has been developed, and is ready to collect at the museum. The project also features guidebook about the educational path, which will be available soon in the version for adults and for children in separate spring-summer and autumn-winter folders.
