The southern border of Poland is situated through hundreds of kilometers of mountain area...

The higer and better known ranges being Karkonosze in the southwest, Tatras in the central south and
Bieszkady in the southeast of Polska...


Between these mountains? More mountains... in Poland they all tend to be called Beskidy...
One of them is Beskid Zywiecki, protected as a landscape park or "Park Krajobrazowy".

Between the mountains of up to 1577 meters happy villagers
- old farmers, people from the big towns of Silesia spending their free weekends -
find silence between vast forests of Spruces and scenic hills grazed by few lucky cows.


Silence in Silesia...


Beskid Zywiecki - mountain & forests
A view on the mountains


Most higher parts of the mountains are covered by Spruce forests


Nearly frozen stream in a hollow depression


Ray of sun through Spruce


Frost and snow reign the small mountain stream


The young and the grown up Spruces


Zabnica - a village in Beskid Zywiecki Park Krajobrazowy
On the street of Zabnica


Zabnica - five kilometers long - fifty meter wide


Traditional wooden house, today a more rare view


Religion in harmony with landscape


Old farmer track onto the meadows located on the hills


Early shades on the main way through the village


The landscape, water, snow...
Track along abandonned house



Hill used for grazing cows with many trees and shrubs to prevent erosion


Meadows in strips parallel to contour lines of the mountain


Just some small branches in a bunch of snow


Ice and water - halfway frozen mountain stream


Just a field of snow...


Bridge on the Zabnica - stream


Zabnica stream in November


The same place in December
