Żabnica, Silesian Voivodeship

Żabnica is a mountain village that spreads across valleys at the foot of the Beskids, known for its traditional wooden houses and agricultural lands. The settlement sits among green fields and meadows that maintain its rural character throughout the year.

The settlement formed as part of the Węgierska Górka administrative district in southern Silesia and developed over generations as a rural community. Its growth remained tied to the region's agricultural economy and mountain traditions.

The village maintains a strong connection to its agricultural past, with traditional farming still shaping how locals live and use their land.

The village can be reached by regional roads connecting to Węgierska Górka to the southeast, with the larger town of Żywiec nearby. For a visit, bringing a car or bicycle makes sense since the area has limited public transport and a rural layout.

The village has developed in recent years as a destination for hikers exploring the Beskids, with local lodging for mountain visitors now available. This evolution shows how rural settlements expand their agricultural economy through gentle tourism.
