Dwór Bysina is located in the village of Bysina, 5 km from the centre of Myślenice, right by the Zakopane road (S7). From here you can reach the most beautiful places in Małopolska in under an hour, then return in the evening to peace, greenery and views of the hills.
For each place we give the distance and driving time from Bysina without traffic (based on OpenStreetMap routes). At weekends and in high season, especially on the Zakopane road (S7), it’s worth allowing extra time.
