Travel / Bieszczady: Ustrzyki Górne to/from peak of Tarnica in a day? How intense? [7]
Hello!
I'm going to be visiting Podkarpackie in August and I'm thinking about arriving at and staying at the PTTK in Ustrzyki Górne in the evening and walking/hiking to the peak of Tarnica the next day - but as I won't have a car, I'd like to be able to get a bus out of town later in the day, perhaps to Rzeszów or Przemyśl.
Various estimates online seem to say it's about 3 hours up and 2.5 hours down. Any idea if this is accurate?
Additionally, I don't have any serious hiking gear. How intense is the trail? Would I need, say, hiking poles? Full boots? I'm a novice hiker and wouldn't want to ruin my vacation.
Dziękuję!
Matt
