# Bieszczady Dark Sky Park

Region: SE Poland, Ontario, Canada
Coordinates: 49.15, 22.62
Bortle class: 2 (1 = pristine, 9 = inner city)
Drive from Toronto: ≈ 2 h from Rzeszów airport via the DK84 to Ustrzyki Górne.
Best time: April–October for hikeable ridges; observing from valley car parks year-round.

## Overview
Bieszczady is Poland's wildest Carpathian park — grassy 'poloniny' ridges rising to 1,300 m in the country's remote south-east. The DSP shares its core with Slovakia's Poloniny.

## What to see
Summer Milky Way core through Sagittarius, and deep-sky observing under Bortle 2.

## Highlights
- 1,000+ m grassy ridges give unobstructed horizons
- Cross-border DSP with Poloniny (SK)
- Bieszczady Star Party each summer

## Tips
- Arrive at dusk and give your eyes 20+ minutes to dark-adapt
- Use a red headlamp — white light kills night vision
- Bring warm layers; European mountain and coastal sites drop sharply after sunset
