history
Vyšný Komárnik was first mentioned in writing in 1600 as Fölsö Komornik and was part of the Makovica castle estate . In 1713-14 the village was devastated by Polish raids. In 1787 there were 25 houses and 164 inhabitants and in 1828 there were 34 houses and 262 inhabitants who were employed in agriculture. A saw worked here from 1865 until the First World War .
Until 1918, the place in Sharosh County belonged to the Kingdom of Hungary and then came to Czechoslovakia or now Slovakia. The village was badly affected both in the First and especially in the Second World War , as the area around the Duklapass was the site of hard fighting between Nazi German troops and the advancing Red Army as part of the Carpathian-Duklin operation in late 1944 .
