Gmina Istebna, Rural municipality in Cieszyn County, Poland
Located in southern Poland near the Czech Republic and Slovakia borders, Istebna spans across 84 square kilometers of mountainous Silesian Beskids terrain.
The first documented mention of Istebna dates to 1592, and the settlement developed as part of the Duchy of Teschen under the Kingdom of Bohemia.
The population maintains strong connections to Silesian Goral traditions, speaking a distinct regional dialect and preserving mountain lifestyle customs throughout generations.
The municipality includes a network of hiking trails, making it accessible for outdoor activities while serving as an administrative center for 12,129 residents.
The Good Shepherd Church, constructed in 1794, replaced an earlier wooden structure and now functions as the central religious monument of the community.
