Cukiernica Wyżna

Cukiernica Wyżna is a pastoral meadow (hala) in the Żywiec-Orava Beskids, within Żabnica in Żywiec County (Węgierska Górka municipality). It lies on the eastern slope of the northern ridge of Redykalny Wierch, in the area of the Boracza stream. It forms a pair with the neighbouring Cukiernica Niżna: the lower meadow is still grazed and maintained, the upper one no longer is and is gradually being overgrown by forest.

Trails

Three trails run in the area. The black one leads from Żabnica-Skałka through Hala Boracza and Cukiernica Niżna to Redykalny Wierch. The blue one runs from Rajcza through Sucha Góra, Cukiernica Wyżna and Niżna to Hala Boracza. The green one forms a loop from Milówka through the hut on Hala Rysianka. On Hala Boracza stands a PTTK mountain hut, and nearby lies Hala Redykalna.

Below the meadow, in a rocky scree, is the Cave in Boracza.

Practical information

• Reached on foot only, by trails; check the current condition of the trails before you set out.
• Because the meadow is being overgrown, expect a more wooded than meadow landscape.
