Babia Góra (which can be translated as Witch Mountain) - the highest in Beskidy mountain - since the dawn of history was believed to be place of witches gatherings (sabats). Every year during St. Łucja night they gather to do vile things. What things? It's not known.
Old Polish legends also says unreliable and amazing stories about Devil's Castle (Diablak) on the highest pick of the mountain which is always covered by the mist. Unfortunately, there is only rubble of stone left there.

Your photo is very good and we changed text below as You want to.
First,
Babia Góra [ˈbabja ˈgura] (in Polish), literally Old Wives' or Witches' Mountain, is a massif situated on the border between Poland and Slovakia in the Western Beskidy Mountains. The name is also applied to the culmination of the massif, Diablak ("Devil's Peak"), which is also the highest peak of this part of the Carpathian Mountains
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babia_G%C3%B3ra
so the mountain is situated in the Western Beskidy not in Bieszczady
Second,
The highest peak of Bieszczady is Mt. Pikuy (1405 m) in Ukraine. The highest peak of the Polish part of Bieszczady is Tarnica (1346 m).

and the last
the caption under my photo should be
"The view of the Babia Góra's range" not "View from the Witch Mountain"
