Tips from the Community
The former PTTK Mountain Shelter on Równica, now known as the Równica Guesthouse, is a facility with a rich history, nestled in a picturesque clearing at an altitude of 758 meters above sea level. It has been serving tourists since the 1920s and once even hosted President Ignacy Mościcki. Today, after a thorough renovation, it retains its regional charm and serves as an important hub for hiking trails (including the red GSB trail) and a popular viewing point. Although it has lost its formal status as a PTTK mountain shelter, it still offers stylish accommodations and regional cuisine, making it an ideal place to relax and enjoy the mountain atmosphere. The guesthouse can be reached both on foot via numerous trails and conveniently by car via the paved road from Ustroń.

Stunning views of the surrounding area from the observation tower on Wielka Czantoria. Czantoria itself is the highest peak in the Cieszyn Beskids (995 m), and now add the tower's 29 meters.

Right next to the shelter is the Silesian Beskid Tourism Museum. It is worth visiting this place. In the season, there are guides there who will tell you about the history of this place. The facility is supported by free donations, it is worth supporting if you can. I recommend seeing it.

I would like to offer the pilgrim pausing before this magnificent, small sacred monument, Pope Leo XIV's welcoming words as a brief meditation. Immediately after his election, before he bestowed the traditional blessing "urbi et orbi" (to the city and the world) on the waiting faithful, he addressed the people gathered in St. Peter's Square, as well as those participating via radio, television, and the internet, with these moving words: + "Peace be with you all! Dear brothers and sisters, this is the first greeting of the Risen Christ, the Good Shepherd... I too desire that this greeting of peace enter your hearts, reach your families, all people, wherever they are, all nations, the whole earth. Peace be with you! This is the peace of the Risen Christ, an unarmed and disarming peace, humble and persevering. It comes from God, the God who loves us all unconditionally." (Robert Francis Prevost / Pope Leo XIV)
