The last smoke over the Bieszczady Mountains

Just a dozen or so years ago, smoke rising from mighty steel furnaces (retorts) was an inseparable part of the Bieszczady landscape. Today, the charcoal burner's craft is slowly passing into history. The Traditional Charcoal Burning Ecomuseum in Radoszyce (known as "Na Wypale") is one of the last places where you can see this difficult and fascinating process live.

A meeting with people of iron

Charcoal burning isn't just about steel furnaces – above all, it's about extraordinary, tough people who spend entire weeks in the forest tending the fire. A visit to Radoszyce lets you see the mighty retorts in action with your own eyes and smell the genuine, smoky craft.
