Parks and nature
park established in 1998: 386 km² of the Silesian Beskids and eight nature reserves
Free in Brenna: a twelve-metre lookout below the summit of Stary Groń, the Karkoszczonka pass and the Silesian Beskids Landscape Park.
The mountain setting makes this a day for walkers, with no tickets to buy and no queues at box offices.
To the ridge of Stary Groń, where the lookout tower, twelve metres tall, stands below the 791 m summit. The second goal is the Karkoszczonka pass at 723 m, whose saddle carries the border between Brenna and Szczyrk and where hiking trails meet.
The pass lies between Trzy Kopce, rising to 1,082 m, and Beskidek at 860 m, so it works well as a landmark on a route.
The Silesian Beskids Landscape Park was established on 16 June 1998. It takes in 386.20 km² of the main ridges, and a buffer zone of 222.85 km² surrounds it. Eight nature reserves lie within the park, which spreads over thirteen municipalities.
Yes, it stands just below a summit of 791 m, so the approach calls for some fitness.
You will find the village under Brenna, and ideas from the whole region under Free places.
