We welcome you to Istebna, near the border with the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Our village, together with Jaworzynka and Koniaków, forms the so-called Beskidzka Trójwieś.
For the best views, go to Ochodzita in Koniaków (from there you can admire the Tatra Mountains, the peak of Wielki Chocz and the highest peaks of Mała Fatra), Złoty Groń, Koczy Zamek, Przełęcz Kubalonka or Stecówka. From Stecowka, you can follow the red trail to the Przysłopie Shelter, and from there you can go to Barania Góra with the observation tower. You can also go for a walk to the artificial Olza reservoir, walk along the Olza River or go through Czerchla and Bystre towards the border. The Kubalonka Pass is 10 minutes away from us. It separates the Stożek and Czantoria ranges from the Barania Góra range and connects the Vistula with Istebna at an altitude of over 760 m above sea level. From there you can hit the trails.
Cyclists will be happy to know that there is an electric bike rental right next door, as well as enduro routes and the Złoty Groń bike park (4 different bicycle routes with a total length of over 4.5 km).
You can go cross-country skiing, ski touring or classic downhill skiing here. We are close to the Złoty Groń ski station and the Zagroń Istebna complex. A Nordic walking park has been opened in Bukowiec, with 3 routes available, starting from the Kempaland resort. And Kubalonka is the second cross-country skiing center in Poland after Jakuszyce (routes available are 2.5 km, 3 km, 5 km and 7.5 km).
