Równica (884 m a.s.l.) is one of the most rewarding and accessible peaks in the Silesian Beskids — a mountain that welcomes hikers of all levels while delivering sweeping views, beech forest trails, and a genuine mountain atmosphere. With a historic shelter, easy road access, and well-marked trails converging at the summit, it makes for a perfect day out in southern Poland.
The slopes are cloaked in beech and mixed forests that turn spectacular shades of gold and red in autumn. From the summit and nearby clearings, you can enjoy a wide panorama of the Silesian Beskids, taking in peaks such as Czantoria Wielka, Skrzyczne, Barania Góra, Malinowska Skała, and Soszów Wielki. In summer the trails are lively and green; in winter a quiet blanket of snow transforms the mountain into a peaceful retreat.
How to reach the summitThe name 'Równica' comes from the remarkably flat, nearly level ridge section stretching about 1 km southeast of the summit — a distinctive feature visible from both Ustroń Polana and Brenna, and already recorded in documents as far back as 1566.
