The Brynica River
The Brynica is a 55-kilometer river flowing through the Silesian region, including Katowice. It serves as a tributary to the Czarna Przemsza. Travelers visit this area primarily for the riverside paths, which provide a quiet environment for walking and observing the local landscape away from the urban center.

The river runs along the border of Katowice and Sosnowiec. From Katowice city centre, you can reach the riverside areas via local bus lines or by taxi. Depending on the specific section of the river you wish to visit, the journey typically takes 15 to 30 minutes.
