Żywiec Beskids, Mountain range in southern Poland.
The Żywiec Beskids stretch across the Outer Western Carpathians, reaching heights of 1,725 meters at Babia Góra peak and 1,557 meters at Pilsko peak.
The mountain range formed a natural border between the Kingdom of Hungary and the Kingdom of Poland, with documentation dating back to 1269.
Traditional wooden churches dot the landscape of Żywiec Beskids, representing architectural elements from southern Poland's mountain communities.
Numerous marked trails lead to summits from Zawoja village, with the ascent to Babia Góra peak taking approximately two and a half hours from Krowiarki Pass.
Snow covers Babia Góra summit until late May, creating extreme weather patterns that generate fierce storms in summer and intense blizzards in winter.
