Miedzybrodzie Bialskie: Chrobacza Łąka - Żywiec
Tucked into the Little Beskids, Chrobacza Łąka is a place whose character is shaped by forested slopes above the Żywiec Basin. The 828-metre summit stands in the northern part of this compact range in southern Poland, near Międzybrodzie Bialskie. Its ridges belong to the wider Western Beskids, where marked walking routes pass through spruce and beech woodland. A 35-metre steel cross, erected in 2002, is a modern landmark on the summit. The surrounding mountains meet the Soła valley, where the river is dammed to form the Międzybrodzie Lake reservoir. Chrobacza Łąka brings together accessible mountain terrain, extensive woodland and the nearby towns of the Żywiec area.

Poland stretches from the Baltic Sea coast in the north to the Carpathian Mountains along its southern frontier, encompassing broad lowlands, lake districts and upland ranges. The Vistula, the country’s longest river, links Kraków and Warsaw before reaching the Baltic near Gdańsk, while the Masurian Lake District is defined by a dense network of lakes. Kraków’s historic centre, including Wawel Castle, recalls Poland’s former royal capital; Warsaw’s rebuilt Old Town speaks to the city’s recovery after the Second World War.
