The Carpathian Trail is Poland’s third-longest hiking trail, stretching for around 430 km from Rzeszów to Grybów, close to the borders with Ukraine and Slovakia. This so-called “border trail” or "blue trail" crosses the breathtaking Bieszczady Mountains, as well as the less-visited Sanok-Turka Mountains and Low Beskids. In a separate post, you will find everything you need to know before hiking the Carpathian Trail. In this blog post, I’m sharing my own detailed day-by-day itinerary, including accommodation and resupply points.

The Carpathian Trail is Poland's third-longest hiking route, ranking just behind the Main Beskid Trail and the Main Sudetes Trail. Marked in blue, the route stretches for 430 km between two Polish cities, Rzeszów and Grybów, winding through the Dynów Foothills, the Przemyśl Foothills, the Sanok-Turka Mountains, the Bieszczady Mountains, and the Low Beskids. In October 2024, I made a solo attempt to complete the Carpathian Trail in 14 days, and here is everything you need to know to do the same. Let’s get right into it!
