Świnna – field trip

Świnna is a village in the Żywiec region and the seat of the Świnna municipality in Żywiec County. It was first mentioned in 1507, and the River Koszarawa, a tributary of the Soła, flows through it. The surrounding slopes offer views of the Żywiec Basin with Grojec Hill and of the peaks of the Silesian Beskids.

Commissioned by the Silesian Tourist Organisation, we prepared recordings for a field trip around Świnna and its surroundings. The route leads from the municipal office with its eagle monument, past a wayside shrine and along the slope of Ciecierz hill; we talk, among other things, about the Vlachs, the sanctuary in Przyłęków and the Saybusch Action. The audio guide lets you explore the village independently, at your own pace.
