Krzakoska Rock on Kobyla in Wis艂a 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.

Krzakoska Rock on Kobyla - viewpoint over Wis艂a
Krzakoska Rock in the Kobyla district is not only an interesting rock outcrop but also a picturesque viewpoint. A marked path (blue trail from Wis艂a Dziechcinki) leads to the top of the rock.
To get closer to the rock from below, you need to leave the trail and climb through the forest towards the rock, as the marked path passes several meters below the base of the outcrop.
