The border of two villages runs along the Abramów ridge. The south-west hillsides belong to Żabnica while the north-west to Cięcina. The farmland of these villages reaches almost the peak of the Ambramów, therefore its mainly unforested. It was more unforested before. In the 19th century, the Żywiec Region was so overpopulated that fields were cultivated as far as the peaks of the mountains, especially those closer to the centers of villages. Cattle and sheep also grazed there. Since the former farmlands and fields (especially those located in higher parts) have not been cultivated and left for its own sake, they were overgrown by bushes and forest.
