This landscape park (or AONB equivalent in England) protects 386,20 km² of land around Szczyrk, Wisła and Brenna (all towns are very popular tourist centres both for summer and winter activities). Some of the highest peaks fall inside borders of this park, including the highest Skrzyczne with 1275 m above sea level. Countless numbers of walking and cycling marked trials. Few big skiing centres with Polish national sports centre having it's branch in Szczyrk and running their ski lifts well into the park. Great place for people looking for peace and quiet.

Good 6 person chair lift, very nice blue slope, bit short red, crossing the blue, good quality material all around, many cannons for the off weather, however a bit overpriced snack bar at the top station, serving a small kiełbasa and bread with a coke for 20 zł. Parking lot is a muddy disaster, free parking though. Stiff walk uphill from the parking lot. Another stiff climb up two metal stairs to get to the lift. But ok, if you go skiing, you can handle that eh :) All in all a good alternative to Szczyrk gondola station, especially on low snow days, plus the Szczyrk Go pass works here too. Recommended.

The highlight of our visit was the predatory bird show where the bird caretaker not only told us about the habits and favorite food of buzzards, falcons and eagles, but also demonstrated how they fly, gain altitude and speed in the air, and hunt (using a toy prey). Our kids (4 and 6 y.o.) enjoyed it very much, also the part where we had to duck to avoid the eagle returning to the falconry glove :)

This monument is great symbol of the city, as many might not know Bielsko is a place where numerous cartoons were born. Monuments are not big but placed in strict city centre and they do attract kids.

Quite interesting, explaining the brewing technology, boasting about the history of the brewery and tasting the beer at the end. It's possible to arrange to see the production line as well. Their beer is average, yet popular, but the museum is recommendable.
