Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the little-known episode of Maria Konopnicka’s biography, namely her stay in Wisla in Cieszyn Silesia. Around the poet’s stay in Wisla many myths and misunderstanings have arisen over the years, which in the light of correspondence and archival material found were subject to verification. Maria Konopnicka’s literary work and letters to her family partially explain the myster of her stay in the Beskids, and the recreated realities of the summer village which was just beginning to develop, shed new light on the possible frequent visits of the poet to Wisla.
