Two-peaked peak in the Beskid Andrychowski (eastern part of the Beskid Mały) Potrójna is an excellent viewpoint. Both of its peaks and the entire ridge are treeless. There are extensive pastoral pastures and meadows here, the views from which are among the most extensive in the entire Beskid Mały. The panorama includes: the Silesian Foothills, the Bliźniaków Range, the Rzycka Valley, the main ridge of the Beskid Mały, the Gorce Mountains, the Polica Range, Babia Góra, the Jałowieckie Range, Pilsko, the Żywiec Basin, the Lipowski Wierch and Romanka Group, the Wielka Racza Range and the Silesian Beskid from Glinny to Skrzyczne. On the lower peak there is a former shepherd's chapel with figures of the Virgin Mary, on the higher one there are two boards with described panoramas

Oh, it's definitely for tough guys. I had the climb in March at the beginning of the season, but I think I could do it "at once" in the middle/end of the season

The first castle in Sucha Beskidzka – known only as Sucha until 1965 – was probably located on the same site as the later palace. After it was burned down, the then owners of Sucha sold the complex in 1554 to Kasper Suski (Italian: Gaspare Castiglione), a goldsmith from Florence who had risen to the nobility at the royal court in Kraków. By 1580 he had the architect Gregorius Kaczorowski build a Renaissance palace in Sucha based on the model of Wawel in Kraków. Since 1991, part of the palace has been used as a cultural institute and another as the Kasper Suski hotel and restaurant – named after its builder.
