Żywiec - City Walk

Żywiec, set among the mountains where the Soła and Koszarawa rivers meet, is a town of many faces – bourgeois and aristocratic. The most important places in its life are the church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary with a Renaissance loggia on its tower and the market square with the town hall, and its greatest attractions are its two castles: the Old Castle with the Town Museum and the New Castle of the Habsburgs, surrounded by an extensive park.

We prepared a walk that begins at the parish church and the market square, leads to the castles of Żywiec and offers respite along the park's avenues. The narrator tells of the Komorowski, Vasa and Habsburg families and the fate of Princess Alice. The recordings were made in an adult and a children's version, in Polish.
