Polonyna (montane Meadow)
Polonyna ( uk, полонина, polonyna; rue, полонина, polonyna; pl, połonina; sk, polonina) is a specific, regionally-focused geographic term, that is used as a designation for areas of montane meadows (a landform type) in the upper subalpine or alpine zones of the Carpathian Mountains. The term ''polonyna'' was introduced to English from Slavic languages, in order to designate various mountainous regions, mainly in the Eastern Carpathians, and also in the Western Carpathians. The ''polonyna'' type areas of montane meadows are very frequent in the Outer Eastern Carpathians, particularly in the Eastern Beskids. Throughout history, they were used for pasture, and in modern times they have become a popular destination for various forms of recreational tourism. The noun ''polonyna'' (plur. ''polonynas'') and its corresponding adjectives (anglicized as ''polonyne'' or ''polonynian'') are also used frequently in local toponyms throughout the Carpathian region. One of ...

Polonynian Beskids
Polonynian Beskids or Polonyne Beskids ( uk, Полонинські Бескиди; pl, Beskidy Połonińskie) is a geological group of mountain ranges of the Eastern Beskids, within the Outer Eastern Carpathians. It is one of two parallel mountain ridges of the Eastern Beskids, situated in western parts of modern Ukraine. They are stretching parallel to the Wooded Beskids on the northeast, and Vihorlat-Gutin Area to the southwest. The name of this mountain range is derived from Slavic term '' polonyna'', designating a particular type of montane meadows, characteristic for those parts of the Carpathians. Thus, the very term ''polonyne'' or ''polonynian'' Beskids translates as ''Meadowed Beskids''. In Polish and Ukrainian terminology, this range is most commonly called the "Polonynian Beskids" ( uk, Полонинські Бескиди; pl, Beskidy Połoniński), while in Slovakia it is also defined in a much wider sense, under the local term ''Poloniny'' ( sk, Poloniny).
