Formerly also Rajcza (Slovak: Veľká Rača), 1236 m above sea level – the highest peak of the Wielka Rača group in the Żywiec Beskids (in Slovakia these are the Kysuckie Beskids) Wielka Rača is located on the main ridge of the Żywiec Beskids, through which the Polish-Slovak border and the Great European Watershed run[4]. At Wielka Rača, this ridge changes direction. Wielka Rača is also a keystone for a long side ridge extending from its peak to the west (to the Slovak side). Between the three ridges of Wielka Rača there are three valleys, through which three streams flow: Rača, Klubinský potok and Oščadnica (Oščadnica) Wielka Rača is completely forested, but on its summit there is a grassy meadow, from which a wide panorama with a characteristic group of Malá Fatra stretches. The peak is also the highest mountain in the Kysuce Beskids (the Slovak part of the Żywiec Beskids) and one of the highest peaks in the Żywiec Beskids. Observation of the views is facilitated by a viewing platform built in 1997 jointly by Poles and Slovaks
