In the Upper Jasiołka Valley, where the village of Jasiel formerly existed, there is a monument commemorating the Beskid Couriers of the Home Army. It was erected in 1981 on the initiative of the PTTK branch in Brzozów during the 2nd Beskid Courier Trail Rally, and unveiled by Jan Łożański, nicknamed "Orzeł", a well-known courier of the Main Headquarters of the Union of Armed Struggle. The couriers' route to Jasiel became the inspiration for the "Jaga-Kora" route, a reconstruction of the historic ZWZ-AK courier route from 1940-1945. Jan Łożański, who traveled the route 45 times, was imprisoned by the Gestapo and the Hungarians. His memories of this trail were described in the book "Kurierski Szlakiem po Beskid Niski".

The monument was erected on the initiative of the PTTK branch in Brzozów in 1981, during the 2nd Rally of the Beskid Couriers Trail, and was unveiled by Jan Łożański himself, pseudonym "Orzeł" - one of the most famous couriers of the Main Headquarters of the Union of Armed Struggle.

(...) The historic route from Rymanów (or more precisely, the Rymanów railway station in Wróblik Szlacheckie) to Jasiel was used not only by couriers, but also by special emissaries or guides carrying important documents and information. It was also used by fugitives from Nazi persecution and finally those who wanted to fight in Polish armed units formed in exile. (...)

The route through Jasiel leading from Warsaw to Budapest was covered by the aforementioned Jan Łożański as many as 45 times, being imprisoned several times by the Gestapo and the Hungarians (...) He described his memories in the book "Kurierskim Szlakiem po Beskidzie Niski".
