DETAILS OF THE TOURIST ATTRACTION
The Czantoria Chairlift
The Czantoria Chairlift is the most modern in the Polish part of the Beskid Mountains. It enables active holidays in the mountains throughout the year. Within six minutes (!) the cable railway brings tourists to Polana Stokłosica, a glade stretching up to the height of 855 m above sea level. Here you can enjoy the beautiful panorama of the Silesian Beskid and Ustroń, ride on a summer toboggan run, or go up to the observation tower on the top of Czantoria or just go hiking - for example, along the Main Beskid Trail. In winter, there is excellent marked ski runs in the area.

The Falconry "Anatum" is located on the
picturesque glade of Stokłosica, in the
vicinity of the upper station of the chairlift,
which takes tourists and skiers onto the
massif of Czantoria. The facility deals with
rearing and rehabilitation of birds of prey.
Falconry is a way of hunting now known only
to a rather small group of enthusiasts, and
therefore the falconry on the slopes of
Czantoria aims at popularizing the
knowledge about it.
Mount Wielka Czantoria, with a height of 995 m
above sea level, is a prominent hill,
forming the highest point of the range of
Czantoria and Stożek, located in the
north-western part of the Silesian Beskid.
This range marks the border between
Poland and the Czech Republic and is the
watershed between the basins of the
Vistula and the Oder. The top of Czantoria
is also the highest peak of the Czech part
of the Silesian Beskid. A network of routes
makes it possible to get to know many
parts of the massif on the both sides of
the border.
The Reserve "Czantoria" lies on the northern
slopes of Wielka Czantoria (995 m) in the
Silesian Beskid, within the administrative
boundaries of Ustroń. It protects forest plant
communities, including the biggest oddity:
an over 150-year-old beech-fir forest mixed
with the ash. In the reserve we may
encounter many protected species of plants
and animals. Occasionally, even wolves and
lynxes can be found here. Marked hiking
trails and a forest nature path run through
the reserve.
The Regional Forest Environmental Education Center “Leśnik", which means forester in English, is managed by the forestry management of Ustroń. There is a display showing the individual elements of the forest. As part of the local education activities, the center also allows you to get acquainted with the principles of forest management. Organized groups can explore a nature and forest path with a Guide and participate in lectures. The center has also offer food and Accommodation.
The Ustroń Forestry Management administers the forest areas of various types, both situated in the highlands and lowlands. Since 1994, these forest communities have been part of the Forest Promotion Complex "Forests of the Silesian Beskid." The institution which popularizes knowledge of the local wildlife and the forest management is the Wildlife and Historical Chamber opened in 2007. It is worth visiting the local exhibition before setting off on a hike along the Beskid trails.
