Lachów Groń (1045 m above sea level), also known as Buciorysz, is a scenic peak in the Żywiecki Beskids, in the Jałowiecki Range. Nestled at the foot of Babia Góra, it remains relatively unpopular, despite offering its visitors what's most important: expansive panoramas, peace, and quiet.

Lachów Groń - trivia
- the name of the peak comes from an old term for Poles (Lachy) and the Wallachian word groń, meaning mountain, hill (rum. grui is peak)
- On Lachów Groń you will find two wooden buildings: one is an abandoned, but open wooden hut (on the trail from Koszarawa Center). The second: a shelter on the eastern part of the meadow. Cultural sheep grazing was recently conducted near the shelter, but it is currently discontinued.
- Janoszkowa Meadow is full of blueberry bushes. In season, be sure to come here "for berries"!
- Henryk Sienkiewicz on Lachów Groń? There is a wooden bas-relief on the summit with the inscription "Henryk was here in 1902", so it's probably true. However, we don't know the circumstances of the visit of the Nobel laureate...
