Low Beskids
The Low Beskids ( sk, Nízke Beskydy) or Central Beskids ( pl, Beskidy Środkowe; cs, Centrální Beskydy; uk, Центральні Бескиди) are a mountain range in southeastern Poland and northeastern Slovakia. They constitute a middle (central) section of the Beskids, within the Outer Eastern Carpathians.

In Slovak terminology, the region is called ''Low Beskids'' ( sk, Nízke Beskydy). In Polish terminology, the same region is not classified under the term ''Low Beskids'' ( pl, Beskid Niski), since that term is used to designate only one part of the region, while the Polish equivalent term for the entire region is ''Central Beskids'' ( pl, Beskidy Środkowe). It is a hilly region, encompassing the Prešov Region, Sanok County and Jasło County, and covering the area between Busov, Ondavská vrchovina, Labore ...
