Krzakoska Rock on Kobyla in Wisła is a beautiful and quite easily accessible viewpoint. Above the rock outcrop, there is a viewpoint with a 'lovers' bench'. The rock, about 15 meters high and 60 meters wide, is also one of the most popular climbing walls in the Silesian Beskids.
Note: Due to the lack of railings, it's important to be careful and pay special attention to the safety of young children!
