Tourist attractions

Open Air Museum .
In the Zubrzyca Górna is the open-air museum Orawski Park Etnograficzny. The museum was founded in 1937 in the form of a gift to the Polish state, whereby the state became the owner of an area of more than 4 hectares, comprising a conservation-worthy gentlemen's seat with extensions, surrounded by a beautiful park. The former property – Dwór Moniaków – still constitutes the museum's most valuable building complex, giving a picture of the lava life of the old days.

In other buildings one can see how the ordinary peasants of this region lived in ancient times. The museum also shows examples of handicraft and industrial businesses from the villages: a blacksmith, a sawmill, an oil mill and a mill.
Near Dwór Moniaków is a apiary with 13 hives. In the museum park you will also find a clock stack originating from the Zimna Dziura locality at Zubrzyca Górna.
