Here you can find hostels, guesthouses, accommodation in private houses, many picturesque places to rest and sports facilities. „Babiogórska Jesień” (Babia Góra Autumn) – the biggest local folk event - is organised here annually. „Babiogórska Jesień” is one of the biggest cultural events of the Beskidy region. Every year you can not only see performances of folk groups from the Babia Góra region, but also from other places.
