Highlanders
Orawscy
Polish Orava highlanders live in fourteen villages south of Mount Babia, including Jabłonka, Lipnica Wielka, Lipnica Mała, Zubrzyca Górna and Zubrzyca Dolna, Orawka, Podwilk and Chyżne. Most of the historical land of Orava is part of contemporary Slovakia.

Orava highlanders’ trousers are embellished with black parzenicas. The locals used to build chalets unique in shape, with a traditional wyżka and przedwysce (storeys and parts thereof, added above regular residential quarters and frequently used as household granaries). Shepherding and agriculture apart, they were known for excellent carpentry, joinery and bricklaying. For centuries, inhabitants of Jabłonka and Piekielnik used to cut and collect peat, historically a fuel source. Orava highlanders were also known for manufacturing and dyeing cloth.
