Kotarz (Beskid Żywiecki)

Kotarz is a mountain in the Beskid Żywiecki range in southern Poland, near the border area with Slovakia. It rises above the area around Soblówka and is covered mainly by forest and mountain meadows. For visitors, it makes a good choice for a short hike with open views and a quiet mountain setting.

Na miejscu można liczyć przede wszystkim na:

• forested slopes and mountain meadows that give the area a varied, natural character
• hiking opportunities along nearby ridges and clearings, where you can enjoy views of the surrounding Beskids
• a location close to the Slovak border area, which adds to the sense of a borderland mountain outing

It is best to come prepared for a walk in the mountains, with sturdy shoes and weather-appropriate clothing, especially if you plan to use the ridges and open sections. Kotarz is a good option for travelers looking for a calm trip close to nature, rather than a demanding summit visit.
