Zywiec, Poland Walking Tour ☀️ (4K Ultra HD) - With Captions

This walking tour was recorded in Żywiec on a beautiful spring day in May 2024. The town is located in southern Poland, in the Silesian Voivodeship, in the deep intermontane depression - the Żywiec Basin, on the confluence of the Sola and Koszarawa rivers near the city center, and on Lake Żywieckie, at an altitude of about 345-350 meters above sea level. In 2022, the city had 29,878 inhabitants.
The name "Żywiec" is known to every inhabitant of Poland; the town has been famous for centuries for its beer production, but it has much more to offer!
Żywiec is often called the capital of the Beskids; it is an important tourist and recreational center as well as the center of one of the most beautiful and ethnographically interesting regions in Poland - the Żywiec Lands. Settlement in these areas dates back to prehistoric times. Traces of settlement from 2500 years ago have been found here. Meanwhile, locational documents indicate the founding of the city at the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries. The beginnings of the city's dynamic development date back to the mid-19th century, when, among others, a metalworking plant producing screws, a paper factory, and a printing house were established here, as well as the brewery "Żywiec," founded in 1856 by Albrecht Habsburg.
The city gained a new face in 1967 when Lake Żywieckie was created by damming the waters with an earth dam in Tresna, becoming an important element in the dynamic development of tourism in the region. However, Żywiec is not only a brewery and a beautiful area; the city can boast magnificent historical monuments, including the Town Square with a fountain and the statue of St. Florian, the Town Hall, the Cathedral Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary from the 15th century, the Bell Tower from the 18th century, the Old Castle, the Habsburg Palace, and the Castle Park with the Chinese House.
