Redykalny Wierch, Mountain summit in Beskid Żywiecki, Poland.
Redykalny Wierch is a summit in the Beskid Żywiecki range reaching about 1,144 meters, surrounded by forested slopes and mountain meadows. Marked trails connect the peak to nearby mountain shelters, creating a network of routes through the landscape.
The mountain served as a natural boundary and reference point when early settlements formed in the Beskid Żywiecki region. This geographical importance anchored the peak in local life for centuries.
Shepherds continue to work the mountain meadows below the summit using methods that have been passed down through generations in this region. Visitors walking through these grasslands encounter living rural traditions that shape how local communities interact with the landscape.
The hike can begin from a mountain shelter or valley station and follows marked paths through forest and meadows. Winter conditions from December through March require sturdy footwear and potentially additional winter gear.
From the Hala Redykalna meadow below the summit, hikers can see both the Tatra Mountains and the broader Beskidy range on clear days. This expansive view reveals the larger mountain landscape from a single vantage point.
