You can hide in Soblówka, enjoy the panorama of the Żywiecki Beskids (as well as the Tatra Mountains, which can be admired from the nearby routes), and watch deer walking around at dawn. There will be a cozy living room with a fireplace, a bookcase with books and a comfortable armchair, and in the garden there will be a jacuzzi with bubbles and a sauna house, where, in addition to the sauna, there are also comfortable armchairs and a shower.
There is a black hiking trail nearby and the green trail begins, later connecting with the inter-border blue trail. There is also a yellow shepherd's trail and a red hiking and cycling trail in the area. I recommend trips to: Pilsko, Babia Góra, Muńcoł or Wielka Rycerzowa. The trip to the last mountain will take you about 4 hours. You can choose from the yellow trail (more scenic) and the black trail, so you can make a loop. For a light run, I recommend the route to Królowa Polana, where the Szczechowicz family's shepherd's hut stands.
In Soblówka there is a spring custom, i.e. a drive of sheep to the village and an autumn redyk, when the shepherd returns with a herd of sheep for the winter. Nearby, on Królowa Street, there is also a shepherd's hut where you can drop by for delicious cheese.
The nearest shelters can be found in Hala Rysianka, Przegibek Pass, Hala Lipowska, Hala Rycerzowa and Krawcowy Wierch.
On the Slovak side there are: Kwaczańska Dolina (where many scenes of Agnieszka Holland's Janosik were created), water mills in Obłazy, the Dolne and Horne Diery routes. There are also beautiful cycle routes, e.g. the cycle route from Glinka to Terchová through Novot, Orawska Lesna and Zazriva and around the reservoir in Nová Bystrica. At the crossing in Ujsoły, the yellow ski trail begins, leading to Krawce Wierch.
For skiing, go to the Ski Park complexes in Rajcza (it is the closest, 10 km from the house), Zwardoń Ski or Orava Ski. The area around the village of Mutne in Slovakia (35 minutes by car from us) will be ideal for cross-country skiers. A beautiful running route starts in Mutnianská Píla and leads along forest paths at the foot of Pilsko.
Beskid Żywiecki is a perfect place for mountain biking. Many of the gravel forest roads are fire roads, so they are not too steep. I recommend renting electric bikes, which make exploring the area even more enjoyable.
In the area there is the Habsburg Palace in Żywiec, in Złatna you can see the ruins of a glassworks (with a blast furnace) and a larch forester's lodge from 1876, and in a little further Jaworzynka it is worth visiting the Na Grapie Regional Museum. From there, it's not far to Istebna, Kukuczka's birthplace (see the Memorial Room run by his wife Cecylia). In the same town there is also an inconspicuous Forest Ecological Education Center.
At the end of the day, decide for yourself whether you want to lie in hot water in the jacuzzi in the garden, hide in front of the fireplace with a book, or jump into the sauna.
