Two-peaked peak in the Beskid Andrychowski (eastern part of the Beskid Mały) Potrójna is an excellent viewpoint. Both of its peaks and the entire ridge are treeless. There are extensive pastoral pastures and meadows here, the views from which are among the most extensive in the entire Beskid Mały. The panorama includes: the Silesian Foothills, the Bliźniaków Range, the Rzycka Valley, the main ridge of the Beskid Mały, the Gorce Mountains, the Polica Range, Babia Góra, the Jałowieckie Range, Pilsko, the Żywiec Basin, the Lipowski Wierch and Romanka Group, the Wielka Racza Range and the Silesian Beskid from Glinny to Skrzyczne. On the lower peak there is a former shepherd's chapel with figures of the Virgin Mary, on the higher one there are two boards with described panoramas
