Do you know this country - with its picturesque situation, charming
landscapes, emerald meadows, the sun rising and setting against the
panorama of the Beskid Wyspowy and the Gorce mountain ranges, freshness
of climate, monuments, local folclore, and the traditional Polish
hospitality, admired every day by the tourists and by the local people?
In this place, everybody will find something for himself - rustling
leaves, murmuring mountain streams, singing birds, gentle hills, overgrown
in their upper parts with rich forests, meadows, and fields, 'golden
with wheat, silver with rye, decorated with green ribbons of boundary
strips', as a poet describes it. It's here, in the Mszana Dolna commune,
relatively easily accessible mountains surrounding the villages (Mszana
Górna, Lubomierz, Łętowe, Łostówka, Kasina Wielka, Kasinka Mała, Glisne,
Raba Niżna, and Olszówka) along with a varied earth's sculpture and
rich vegetation create great conditions for development of tourism,
recreation and various forms of active rest.
The Mszana Dolna commune - the largest commune in the Limanowski district,
shaped in form of a long horseshoe, is situated mostly in the mountain
range of the Western Karpaty, partly in the western Beskid Wyspowy
and in the northern Gorce.
On the grounds of the commune, there are most of the greatest peaks
of the Beskid Wyspowy - Luboń Wielki, Szczebel, Lubogoszcz, Śnieżnica,
Ćwilin, Jasień and Kudłoń famous for a variety of rock formations
