Visiting Cisownica alone can mean the former Pod Tułem hut, an iron-ore spoil heap and the church of St John the Baptist.
These are three calm stops in a Beskid village, for someone who likes their own pace, traces of industry and quiet.
How can you spend a day in Cisownica by yourself?
Start with the former PTTK hut Pod Tułem at Turystyczna 17, on the north-western slope of the Zagoj hill, 474 m above sea level. The building from the 1930s ceased to be a hut and now houses a restaurant with rooms.
The Łopuka is a heap of spoil carried out of an adit, a relic of old iron-ore mining; the area has over a dozen such remains. Digging went on in the 18th and 19th centuries, until 1870.
What is there to see in Cisownica in terms of sacred architecture?
The Church of St John the Baptist is a reinforced-concrete Lutheran church consecrated in 1981. The parish was founded in 1986, and the organ was donated by the Lutheran World Federation.
