Wisla

Among the towns of the Silesian Voivodeship, Wisła stands out for its setting at the headwaters of the Vistula in the Silesian Beskids. The river begins on the slopes of Barania Góra, and the town follows its upper valley between wooded ridges rather than spreading across a broad plain. Wisła has long been a mountain resort, with hiking and winter sports central to its character. It is also the hometown of ski-jumping champion Adam Małysz; the Adam Małysz Ski Jump in Malinka is an important Polish venue for the sport. In Wisła Czarne, the Presidential Castle, built in 1929–1930 as a residence for Poland’s president, provides a notable interwar landmark.
