Free places in Bystra include the peaks of Klimczok and Szyndzielnia in the Silesian Beskids and a bronze bench with the painter Julian Fałat.
Two mountain goals and one monument in the village make a route for walkers and art lovers. The peaks are neighbours, so they are easy to combine.
Which peak above Bystra should you choose for a hike?
Klimczok reaches 1,117 m and marks the line between Bielsko-Biała and Szczyrk, with a PTTK hut seven hundred metres further on. To the north of it rises Szyndzielnia, about 1,028 m, with a historic PTTK hut, an alpinarium, a lookout tower and a gondola lift.
Both mountains belong to the Klimczok and Szyndzielnia range, and Szyndzielnia is part of the Silesian Beskids Landscape Park.
What in Bystra recalls Julian Fałat?
The Julian Fałat Bench is a life-size bronze sculpture showing the painter in a hat, with palette and brush. Fałat lived in Bystra in 1909-1929, and the bench was placed in front of the "Promyk" Municipal Cultural Centre at Fałata 2.
