Beskid Benches have become an essential feature on mountain trails, both in Poland and Slovakia, attracting tourists, especially families with children. A total of 26 unique benches, inspired by the local cultural heritage, can be found on popular trails in the Beskids. Their design refers to the wooden gates, which are characteristic elements of Carpathian architecture.
Each bench has been carefully placed in strategic locations to provide hikers not only with a comfortable rest but also with the opportunity to admire the spectacular views of the surrounding mountain landscapes. Particular attention should be paid to the benches in Szczyrk, including those located on Skrzyczne and at St. James Square, which are an absolute must-see during a visit to this charming town.
The project of Beskid benches aims not only to promote the rich cultural heritage of the region but also to encourage tourists to spend active time outdoors. They offer a unique opportunity to rest after intensive hiking, allowing for regeneration before further adventures in the picturesque Beskids.
The initiative to place Beskid benches on the trails has been very positively received by both tourists and the local community. Thanks to them, visitors can now rest, relax, and enjoy the beauty of the Beskids in a comfortable way. It is an excellent way to promote the region and highlight its cultural heritage.
Go on mountain hikes and discover the Beskid benches that will make your time in the Beskids even more enjoyable and relaxing!
