Easy hikes and walks around gmina Andrychów

The founder of this attraction got a bit carried away🤣 I have already proposed a name change - it will probably take a while. The correct name and location are: Church of St. Matthias the Apostle in Andrychów It is the most important sacral monument in the city, located in the very center. Beginnings (14th c.): The first mentions of the parish date back to 1325–1346. In the tithe records from 1344, payments for the "construction of the church" were mentioned. Original buildings: In the 16th century, there was a wooden church here, which was then a branch of the parish in Wieprz. Current temple (17th–18th c.): In 1646, on the initiative of Elżbieta of Przytycka Zebrzydowska, the construction of a brick church began. In 1721, the church was consecrated after a thorough Baroque renovation. Between 1722 and 1726, the Brotherhood of the Rosary of the Sweetest Name of Jesus was founded at the church. Expansion (19th–20th c.): The temple was enlarged with chapels (1725) and modernized in 1838 and 1924–1929.

Two-peaked peak in the Beskid Andrychowski (eastern part of the Beskid Mały) Potrójna is an excellent viewpoint. Both of its peaks and the entire ridge are treeless. There are extensive pastoral pastures and meadows here, the views from which are among the most extensive in the entire Beskid Mały. The panorama includes: the Silesian Foothills, the Bliźniaków Range, the Rzycka Valley, the main ridge of the Beskid Mały, the Gorce Mountains, the Polica Range, Babia Góra, the Jałowieckie Range, Pilsko, the Żywiec Basin, the Lipowski Wierch and Romanka Group, the Wielka Racza Range and the Silesian Beskid from Glinny to Skrzyczne. On the lower peak there is a former shepherd's chapel with figures of the Virgin Mary, on the higher one there are two boards with described panoramas

a peak in the main ridge of the Beskid Mały mountain range, in its part called the Beskid Andrychowski mountain range or the Zasolskie Mountains.

Beautiful views. Worth a visit.

Beautiful views. Nice driveway from Praciaki along the fire road. A bit steep, some slabs.

There is a good asphalt road leading to the Targanicka Pass (Beskid Targanicki), both from Targanice and from the Wielka Puszcza (the 77th Tour de Pologne race was on it in 2020). The road is good because the asphalt is in good condition, but the driveway on both sides is very steep. If someone does not have mountain gears on their bike, but rather gears for riding only on flat or small hills, they will have to walk the bike for quite a long distance. Unless he has a pair of legs like professional cyclists. But the beautiful views should reward the effort of getting to this place.

A running classic in Beskid Mały. Beautiful views and a place to rest. Near the top of the cottage on the Triple; accommodation and buffet.

An interesting cross on the hiking trail to Triple. MSB red trail.
