Description of the place
A unique place in the Żywiec region is Międzybrodzie Żywieckie, especially Góra Żar [Żar Mountain] (12 km from Żywiec). You can get there by funicular, bicycle or on foot. From the top, there is a beautiful panorama of the whole Żywiecka Valley. When the visibility is good, you can see Pilsko and even Wielki Rozsutec (a peak in Mala Fatra in Slovakia). In the summer season, an additional attraction is a toboggan run and two bicycle routes. In the winter season, there is a snow-covered and illuminated ski slope with a ski lift. The 14 ha artificial water reservoir of the pumped storage plant is also worth seeing. An attraction for tourists is certainly the pontoon slide at the lower station of the cable car, as well as the rope park.
A place in the movie
The beauty of the Beskids brought filmmakers here. Międzybrodzie Żywieckie was also a background for the films. It was here that the films "Pierwszy start" ["First Take-off"] and "Latające machiny kontra Pan Samochodzik" ["Flying Machines Versus Pan Samochodzik"] were shot. The vast landscapes of Międzybrodzie Żywieckie are visible mainly in scenes related to gliding, but also in the water reservoir shots.
