Couples in Żywiec can stroll the medieval market square, the squares of the centre and the Wilczy Jar ravine, where hiking trails begin.
It is an urban route with a touch of nature. Three squares lie in the centre, while the ravine in the Oczków district offers a moment away from the streets.
At the market square, which most likely dates from the early fifteenth century and lies below Grojec hill. A regular quadrilateral surrounded by townhouses and the Magistrat, with the co-cathedral visible beside it.
Nearby is Plac Mariacki, reshaped in 1968, when the town marked its seven hundredth year. Today it also serves as a city transport hub, so it is busy.
Wilczy Jar is a ravine at 359 m above sea level. A reinforced concrete bridge of 1964 carries Krakowska Street over it, and the descent to Lake Żywiec is hard, so it calls for good footwear and care.
Plac Grunwaldzki in Śródmieście is above all a roundabout with a green square. Its character comes from the Grunwald Monument with an eagle, rebuilt in 2005.
No, the way down to Lake Żywiec is hard, so choose it only if you have the strength and sturdy shoes.
The rest of the town is described under Żywiec, and similar ideas elsewhere under For couples.
