About Lemkovyna

Lemkovyna, Лeмкiвщина (Lemkivshchyna) or Łemkowszczyzna, is the historical region, traditionally
inhabited by the Lemkos. It forms an ethnographic peninsula 140 km long and 25-50 km wide,
within Polish, Slovak and Ukrainian territory. The Lemko region occupies the lowest part of
the Ukrainian Carpathian Mountains - most of the Low Beskids, the western
part of the Middle Beskyd, and the eastern fringe of the Western Beskyd, Poland.
It includes the higher elevations of the Carpathians of modern-day Poland, extending
to around the Poprad River to the west, and extending to the east as far as the region around
Sanok and Uzh (Уж, Uż, Uh, Ung) River in Zakarpattia Oblast, Western Ukraine.
The corresponding latitudes of the adjacent highlands of present-day Slovakia are also
included by some in the description of Lemko-land.*
