Jasło (1153 m a.s.l.[1]) – a mountain in the Western Bieszczady Mountains, also called Wielki Jasłem in contrast to the nearby Mały Jasłem. Located within the Cisna commune in the Lesko county. This mountain, formerly called Jasiel or Wasiel, constitutes the highest culmination of the ridge stretching from Okrąglik in the border range north-westwards, towards Cisna. At the summit, there is a geodetic tower, and below it, a plaque marking the peak. The mountain slopes are covered with Carpathian beech forest and beech-fir forests, a significant part of which are old-growth stands. The clearings occurring in the summit areas were likely formed as a result of human activity. This is evidenced by the lack of stunted beech growth at the forest edge, as well as individual trees growing among the alpine meadows. The presence of these clearings provides views in all directions, including towards Slovakia. Many rare animal species live in this area, including: wolves, bears, lynxes, capercaillies. This area is an important link in the "Carpathian" ecological corridor. The Jasło mountain area is protected as part of the Ciśniańsko-Wetliński Landscape Park, it lies in the buffer zone of the Bieszczady National Park, the International Biosphere Reserve "Eastern Carpathians" and is protected within the European network of protected areas Natura 2000 Bieszczady (PLC 180001). Since 1998, successive mayors of the Cisna commune have promoted the construction of ski lifts on the slopes of Jasło, seeing it as an opportunity for economic development of the commune and for generating additional income for its residents. The planned construction of a large winter sports center in the form of three lifts 2 km long, a half-pipe for snowboarders, a summer pedestrian lift and a mountain bike lift contradicts national and EU environmental protection law. In 1998, the Provincial Commission for Nature Protection and the Scientific-Social Council of the Carpathian Landscape Parks Complex in Krosno gave a negative opinion on the possibility of locating the investment on the slopes of the mountain, which lies in the II usage zone, where such investments are not permitted, in accordance with the protection plan of the Ciśniańsko-Wetliński Landscape Park. Furthermore, investments significantly impacting the environment are not permitted in Natura 2000 areas. Information source: https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jas%C5%82o_(g%C3%B3ra)
