The
San river –
it’s
the longest
river of the
Bieszczady
mountains and
also in the Pogórze
mountains. With
its numerous
sources the San
reaches the
altitude of 843
m of ascent over
the sea level in
the Przełęcz Użocka
(853 m) and Opołonka
(1028 m) –
in the main
Carpathians’
ridge. The San
is 444 km long
but in the
Bieszczady
mountains (from
sources to
Lesko) it has
150 km. The San
and its
tributary
together carry
annually about 5
mld cubic metres
water to the
Vistula river. A
few hundred
meters below the
fonts of the San
there is a state
border between
Poland and
Ukraine. Over
the left bank of
San is located
Średnia Wieś,
in which until
1999 there
existed a wooden
bridge. In the
biggest river of
the Bieszczady
mountains you
can fish a
mountain trout,
and many other
fish. There live
also crabs what
proves that the
water of the San
in nearby Średnia
Wieś has got
the first class
of purity.
