Międzybrodzie Żywieckie, Mountain resort village in Silesian Voivodeship, Poland
Międzybrodzie Żywieckie is a village situated near Miedzybrodzkie Lake close to the Sola River, with terrain rising from 320 to 760 meters in elevation. The landscape features rolling hills and water features that define the settlement's character.
The settlement was first documented in 1598 and grew from a location strategically placed between two merchant crossings on the Sola. Educational programs were introduced in the late 1800s, resulting in the opening of a primary school in 1910.
The village takes its name from its position between two merchant crossings on the Sola River, reflecting the economic importance of the region in earlier times. This geographical arrangement shaped how the community developed and connected with surrounding areas.
The village sits north of the towns of Czernichów and Żywiec, making it accessible for day trips from nearby urban areas. The hilly landscape requires comfortable walking shoes when exploring on foot.
On Zar Mountain within the village, objects placed on the asphalt road appear to roll uphill against gravity, a phenomenon that remains unexplained. Visitors often find this optical puzzle intriguing when they test it themselves.
