Romanka, Mountain summit in Beskid Zywiecki, Poland
Romanka is a mountain summit in the Beskid Zywiecki range at 1366 meters, belonging to the Pilsko Group within the Carpathians. The peak can be reached through four marked trails that start from different nearby villages.
The region became part of the Żywiecki Landscape Park, which introduced protection measures for the native forests and wildlife. This designation marked a turning point in how the area's natural value was officially recognized.
The trails crossing this summit link several villages and reflect traditional routes that mountain communities have walked for generations. These paths show how closely the local villages depend on the mountain as a natural connection point in their daily lives.
The trails are clearly marked and each starts from a different village depending on your route preference. Plan for several hours of walking and wear proper hiking boots, as the paths vary in difficulty depending on the season.
The summit has no ski infrastructure and remains naturally forested, offering a quieter experience than many other mountain destinations. This absence of development creates a space where hikers can experience the mountain on its own terms.
