[PL] Skrzyczne to góra blisko miasta Szczyrk. Jest najwyzszym szczytem Beskidu Slaskiego, piatym co do wysokosci szczytem w Polsce oraz najwyzszym punktem powiatu bielskiego.

Szczyt mozna osiagnac szlakami turystycznymi, a takze kolejka linowa, która startuje w Szczyrku. Stoki góry sa równiez znane z licznych jagodzin.

Niedaleko szczytu znajduje sie schronisko górskie PTTK Skrzyczne, a na samym szczycie wznosi sie wieza radiowo-telewizyjna o wysokosci 87 metrów, ulatwiajaca rozpoznanie szczytu z daleka.

Oprócz licznych szlaków turystycznych, okolica Skrzycznego gosci osrodek narciarski z kilkoma trasami zjazdowymi oraz sciezkami do jazdy na rowerze górskim.

Legenda glosi, ze nazwa Skrzyczne wywodzi sie od skrzyczenia zab, które kiedys zamieszkiwaly tereny obecnie zaniklych stawów niedaleko szczytu.

[ENG] Skrzyczne, situated near Szczyrk, stands as the highest point of the Silesian Beskids, the fifth most prominent peak in Poland, and the highest in Bielski county. Accessible by hiking trails and a Szczyrk-originating gondola lift, the mountain's slopes are famous for their profusion of blueberries.

Near the peak, the PTTK Skrzyczne mountain hut is located, while an 87-meter-tall radio and television tower crowns the summit, serving as a distinctive landmark. Alongside various hiking paths, the Skrzyczne region boasts a ski resort with multiple slopes and mountain biking trails.

Legend traces the mountain's name, Skrzyczne, to the supposed croaks of frogs (Polish: skrzyczenie), which once inhabited the now-vanished ponds near the peak.
