A place remembered by the tragedy of 1978, when two buses carrying miners working in Silesian mines to work fell off the bridge into Lake Żywieckie. Thirty people lost their lives then.
(pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katastrofa_drogowa_pod_%C5%BBywcem)
Today, after several decades since then, standing on the bridge, you can admire the beautiful view of the lake and the surrounding mountains, and a bit of reflection on the fragility of human life, in the face of the beauty of nature and the majesty of the mountains, will be only a slightly melancholic reflection and should not spoil the mood. on the way.

Tresna Dam

Highlight • Monument

Tresna Dam - a water dam built in 1960-1966 in Tresna. After its creation, the waters of the Soła River were dammed up, thus creating Lake Żywieckie.
The construction of the dam led to the flooding of, among others, Zadziela and Stare Żywiec and parts of Tresna and Zarzecze.
