Brzegi Górne at a glance
The “Połonina Wetlińska” nature trail initially follows the red trail from Berehy Górne to Przełęcz Orłowicza, then continues along the yellow trail to Wetlina-Stare Sioło.

The Berehy Górne trail has 18 stations. The cemetery and site of the former Orthodox church are also in this area. Both are in Bieszczady National Park, on a hill beside the red trail to Połonina Caryńska.
Which trails can you include in your trip?
The two nature trails follow different routes. Three landmarks are important on the “Połonina Wetlińska” nature trail: Berehy Górne, Przełęcz Orłowicza, and Wetlina-Stare Sioło. The change from the red trail to the yellow trail is an explicit part of this route.

The Berehy Górne dendrological and historical trail connects Wyżniańska Pass with Wyżna Pass and passes through the site of the former village. Its 18 stations give the trail a clearly defined structure. It does not follow the same route as the nature trail to Połonina Wetlińska: the start and end points, as well as the trail themes mentioned, are different. Which route suits your interests depends on whether you would rather focus on the route to Połonina Wetlińska or the history of the former village.
What traces of the former village remain?
The dendrological and historical trail preserves traces of former manor buildings, as well as the foundations of a church and a cemetery.
The Berehy Górne cemetery lies north of the former Orthodox church and is enclosed by a low stone wall. Only eleven gravestones remain there today. Several were made by local amateur stonemason Hryć Buchwak; their archaic geometric ornaments give them a distinctive, clearly described design feature. Those interested in the history of the place can find not only foundations and traces of buildings here, but also surviving gravestones as tangible evidence.
Where is the historic site situated?
The cemetery and site of the former Orthodox church lie on a hill beside the red trail to Połonina Caryńska. They are about 200 metres from the Wetlina–Ustrzyki Górne–Dwernik road junction; the site is in Bieszczady National Park. These details help locate the historic area in relation to the trails and landmarks mentioned, without conflating the two nature trails into a single route.
The type of trip you are planning is a useful starting point when choosing accommodation: the destinations described include routes linking passes and villages, as well as historic traces in the area of the former village.
