Równica

Równica is a mountain summit in the Silesian Beskids located at 885 meters elevation, positioned between the Vistula and Brennica valleys. From this position, visitors can survey the landscape of the upper Vistula region.

A shelter was constructed at this location in 1927, establishing the foundation for organized tourism infrastructure in this region of Poland. This early development laid the groundwork for the mountain's current popularity among hikers.

The summit serves as a gathering place for hikers and mountaineers who come together to share their passion for the region. The former PTTK shelter, now operating as a restaurant, continues to welcome visitors seeking refreshment after their climb.

Two marked trails ascend to the summit from Ustroń, with one starting from PKP Ustroń Zdrój station and another from PKP Ustroń Polana station. Both routes are well-marked and accessible for hikers of varying experience levels.

Along the red trail stands the Evangelicals' Stone, which served as a hidden meeting place for Protestant believers during the 17th-century counter-reformation. This historic location reveals how the mountains provided refuge for religious communities during challenging periods.
