Skalanka, Mountain summit in Zwardoń, Poland.
Skalanka rises to an elevation of 867 meters, forming part of the Wielka Racza group within the Żywiec-Kisuce Beskids mountain range.
The mountain area gained importance after the 1884 construction of the railway line connecting Żywiec to Czadca, enabling trains from Lviv through Krakow to Vienna.
The mountain marks the Polish-Slovak border and contains the European Continental Divide, separating water flows between different drainage basins.
The eastern slopes of Skalanka feature a student tourist shelter with 50 sleeping places, managed by the Grzmot Tourism Lovers Club since 2010.
The northern slopes of Skalanka contain a small ski center, and during the 1930s, there were plans to construct a ski jumping facility.
