Kysucké Beskydy

Kysucké Beskydy is a mountain range with dense coniferous forests, open highland meadows, and worked agricultural lands near the Polish border. The terrain consists of a mix of forest and cleared land that connects different elevation zones.

The range formed as part of the Carpathian system and shaped boundaries between settlements for centuries. This natural barrier influenced how people established and organized themselves across the landscape.

Mountain villages in the region maintain their own traditions visible in local festivals and craft work done by residents. People have used the hillsides for generations through small-scale farming and workshops that remain part of daily life.

Velká Rača mountain offers winter sports and hiking trails accessible during different seasons. The best time for walking is during low-snow months when paths and elevation changes are easy to manage.

Different habitats at various elevations create zones where different plants and animals thrive. This diversity lets visitors experience multiple ecosystems during a single walk.
