Istebna - Local Tour

Istebna is called the capital of the Silesian highlanders – this is the best place to learn about their history and the culture they cherish to this day. The interior of the historic parish church of the Good Shepherd was beautifully decorated by local artists Ludwik Konarzewski and Jan Wałach, and the old smoke-hut known as the Kawulok cottage, built in 1863, keeps traditional shepherds' instruments.

We prepared a walk through the church, two cemeteries and past the monument to Paweł Stalmach to the Kawulok cottage. The cottage tour is narrated by Zuzanna Kawulok, daughter of the famous musician Jan Kawulok, and Janko Macoszek plays the bagpipes and the trombita. The audio guide is available in Polish, also in a version with audio description for blind and partially sighted visitors.
