Zlatna

Złatna is best known in Poland’s Silesian Voivodeship for its setting in the upper Bystra valley of the Żywiec Beskids. Rather than an urban centre, it is a dispersed mountain settlement in the Ujsoły commune, with homes and farms following the stream beneath forested slopes. The Bystra flows toward the Ujsoła and, farther on, the Soła, placing Złatna within the Carpathian river system. Złatna Huta, one of the settlement’s local parts, recalls the ironworking once carried out here; its name refers to an ironworks. Walking routes from the valley lead towards mountain pastures and ridgelines, including the area around Hala Lipowska.
