Introducing Cisna
Cisna sits on the borderland between the territories once inhabited by the Boyks to the east and the Lemks to the west. The region was densely populated before WWII but today it counts fewer than 500 inhabitants, yet it’s still the largest village in the central part of the Bieszczady. The village is not attractive in itself, but it has a decent choice of accommodation and is a good base for hiking. It is also the place to board the narrow-gauge tourist train.
