Jaworzynka, Mountain village in Silesian Voivodeship, Poland.

Located at 630 meters altitude in the Beskid Śląski mountains, Jaworzynka extends across 22 square kilometers near the borders of Czech Republic and Slovakia.

The settlement, first documented in 1621 as Jaworzinka, belonged to the Duchy of Teschen and later became part of the Habsburg monarchy until 1920.

The Na Grapie Regional Museum exhibits traditional highlander life through displays of agricultural tools, crafts workshops, and authentic wooden buildings without chimneys.

Local guesthouses provide accommodations for visitors exploring the mountain trails, with direct access to the Tri-Nation Point where three countries meet.

Many families from this village moved to Sheridan, Wyoming, in search of work opportunities in coal mines, creating a connection between these distant locations.
