The 7 Most Amazing Peaks around gmina Skoczów

Równica is one of the most popular peaks in the Silesian Beskids, rising 884 meters above sea level above the spa town of Ustroń. It's easily accessible and makes an ideal family trip. A real attraction is the spacious clearing beneath the summit, home to a PTTK mountain shelter (now a guesthouse) and the Równica Mountain Park, with its year-round toboggan run, rope park, and regional inns offering beautiful views of the Czantoria Range and the Vistula Valley. Several scenic trails lead to the summit, including the red trail from Ustroń, which is part of the Main Beskid Trail. The mountain shelter itself, located at the foot of the mountain, is accessible by car.

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.

Wielka Czantoria is one of the most popular places for mountain runs and trips in the Silesian Beskids, with an attractive approach from both Ustroń and the Czech Nýdek. The route to the summit is about 5 km long in one direction and offers demanding approaches, technical descents and beautiful views of the surrounding ranges. At the top, there is a viewing tower, a shelter and the possibility of replenishing supplies. Light trail shoes with aggressive tread will be best for the route, because in wet weather the trail can be slippery and the rocks treacherous.

The peak is located 200 m above the Skibówka pub. It is worth the climb.

The construction of the observation tower and refreshment hut on Veľká Čantoria was carried out between July and October 2002. The actual construction of the observation tower was preceded by the creation of designs from September 2001 and the production of this steel, galvanized structure by the company Strojírenská vukizó Třinecké železáren in cooperation with the designer of this unusual structure in our region. The ceremonial opening was performed by the godfather of this observation tower, the captain of Třinec hockey players, Richard Král, on November 23, 2002. All companies involved in this construction took part in the opening. The intention of investors Jiří and Jan Lubojacky was to make this picturesque eastern part of the Moravian-Silesian Beskids more attractive, to offer tourists an unconventional view of the three states in the immediate vicinity of the village of Nýdek. The observation tower itself is located on the border of the Czech Republic and Poland. The construction led to the creation of a tourist area, which was missing on this peak.

Great trail for hiking and jogging along the hill range. Good point for a break on the way to Klimczok or Błatnia.

Great views of Bielsko-Biała and further to Upper Silesia, and to the south of the Silesian Beskids. At the shelter you can rest in the shade of beech trees and have a meal.
