Local products
The Beskid Five is a place where traditional handicraft and folk art are very much alive and present. In numerous galleries and regional chambers the visitors can find unique products of art and household articles, talk to those who have created them and even observe the making process.
The visitors who appreciate the value of genuine handicraft are recommended to pay special attention to products awarded the Quality Mark “The Beskid Product worth 5.” The mark is awarded by the municipal authorities of the Beskid Five to products especially characteristic of our region, made traditionally (most often manually) and on a small scale.
Below is the list of makers and local products or services that have received the award:
