Things to do in Porąbka: Lake Czaniec, the Zasolnica reserve, the Limba hut and the Little Beskids Landscape Park in the Bielsko county.
Porąbka sits in the Bielsko county, along the Soła, below the Little Beskids. It suits those who like gentle mountains, beech forest and views of water rather than indoor sights.
Czaniec Lake is a drinking-water reservoir of 45 hectares and up to 6.5 m deep. Water sports and fishing are banned, so people come to look at the water rather than swim.
The Zasolnica Nature Reserve, created in 1973, protects Carpathian beech forest on the slopes of a 567 m hill and covers 16.65 hectares. The whole area lies within the Little Beskids Landscape Park, which spans 257.7 km² on the border of Silesia and Lesser Poland, with the peaks of Łamana Skała (929 m) and Czupel (933 m).
The “Limba” Mountain Tourism Club Hut at Palenica 41 occupies a former forester's lodge on the slope of Trzonka and has about 25 beds in two dormitories heated by tiled stoves.
There is no bathing area: water sports and fishing are banned, because the lake is a drinking-water reservoir.
It covers 257.7 km², of which 165.4 km² lies in the Silesian Voivodeship.
