The same Gerhard, in his "Luny" connected the presence of Gen. Swierczewski in the Bieszczadyarea with the preparations for "Operation Wisla", by putting in the general's mouth quite clearly the communication that it was not to come.
In the Bieszczadyareas even the Polish population was evacuated, and it was concentrated in Zavadka Morokhovska, Mokre, Shchavne and Kulashne.
From the Bieszczadycounty 34,026 people or approximately 10,000 families were resettled, who took with themselves 3,242 horses, 6,796 cows, 7,174 sheep and goats, 1,353 pigs, 2,978 carts, and 1,789 plows, according to H. Jadam.
The area of the county is favourable for walkers, cyclists, horse-riders and skiers.
The location within the Mountains and influence of the continental climate contribute to the longer snow lingering period (during typical winters over 120 days within a year), what creates ideal conditions for winter sports and an active recreation as well as paragliding.
The mountainous country of the county is intersected with numerous streams and rivers, out of which one called Strwiąż, as the only Polish river and the tributary of Dniesrt, Belongs to the catchment area of the Black Sea.The uniqueness of the plant and animal world occurring here makes the county attractive in many fields.
