Koniaków, Mountain village in Silesian Beskids, Poland

Located at 700 meters elevation, Koniaków spreads across the slopes of the Beskid Śląski mountain range in southern Poland's Cieszyn County.

The settlement emerged in the first half of the 17th century when inhabitants from Istebna moved to the area seeking new pastures against duchy regulations.

For over 150 years, local women have created intricate cotton lace through crocheting techniques, producing tablecloths that reached international recognition.

The village maintains regular transport connections to neighboring towns and offers winter sports facilities due to its mountainous terrain.

Koniaków lace products found their way to notable recipients, including Queen Elizabeth II and Pope John Paul II, showcasing local craftsmanship worldwide.
