Skrzyczne Peak (1,257 m)

Highlight • Summit

Skrzyczne (1257 m above sea level) is the highest peak of the Silesian Beskids, known for its excellent conditions for hiking and skiing. You can reach the summit on foot from Szczyrk along the green or blue trail, or you can use the cable car. The summit offers views of the Żywiec Beskids, the Little Fatra, and in good weather even the Tatras. There is a PTTK shelter at the top, where you can rest and eat a warm meal.

White Cross

Highlight • Religious Site

I would like to offer the pilgrim pausing before this magnificent, small sacred monument, Pope Leo XIV's welcoming words as a brief meditation. Immediately after his election, before he bestowed the traditional blessing "urbi et orbi" (to the city and the world) on the waiting faithful, he addressed the people gathered in St. Peter's Square, as well as those participating via radio, television, and the internet, with these moving words:
+ "Peace be with you all! Dear brothers and sisters, this is the first greeting of the Risen Christ, the Good Shepherd... I too desire that this greeting of peace enter your hearts, reach your families, all people, wherever they are, all nations, the whole earth. Peace be with you! This is the peace of the Risen Christ, an unarmed and disarming peace, humble and persevering. It comes from God, the God who loves us all unconditionally."
(Robert Francis Prevost / Pope Leo XIV)

Skrzyczne Mountain Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The shelter is open all year round. Located at an altitude of 1250m above sea level. There are three dining rooms, a buffet (only in summer!) and places to sleep. The views are extraordinary - even from the dining room! - a wonderful panorama of the Beskids, and in good weather even the Tatras. A wonder!
