Szczyrk, picturesquely located in the Silesian Beskid between Klimczok and Skrzycze, in winter turns into a true ski eldorado. The largest and most modern ski resort in Poland, where ski lovers can enjoy dozens of kilometres of runs, does not become empty at the end of the season. When the snow melts, cyclists take the place of skiers and snowboarders. Seekers of thrills will find in Szczyrk many routes providing a shot of adrenaline. Here are the most interesting ones, which are worth testing during your stay at the Przystanek Góry!
