For the English-speaking reader: photos are from Żywiec Beskids, a mountain range in southern Poland. There are several smaller mountain peaks nearby, and within a radius of a dozen or so kilometers, several more famous ones, including Pilsko (1557), Barania Góra (1220), Skrzyczne (1257). The Żywiec Beskids, although beautiful, are still not overly visited by tourists and you can find many places for peaceful hikes there. The borders with Slovakia and the Czech Republic, with which Poland shares this mountain region, are nearby. The capital of the region is the small town of Żywiec, which is known, among other things, for beer production. Many residents of Żywiec region still cultivate the old folk customs of this region. For example, always on the occasion of Christmas and New Year, colorful processions of people in costumes go around the villages and even in the town, whose costumes refer to folk beliefs. I will publish more posts related to this region. You can find links to previous posts from that region at the bottom of this entry.
