Summer six-day trek in Small and Silesian Beskids (PL) - Stage 1

Starting point is train station Kozy on the Carpathian train line, which runs through the foothills of Little Beskydy. We follow the path marked with the cross symbol on the hill. It belongs to the papal trail network. It takes a while to get through the village to the former quarry with a pond. Behind the quarry, the trail climbs steeply, mostly through the beech-hornbeam forest, to Hrobacza Łąka peak. With a hiking backpack you will be pretty sweaty. On the top there is a wooden plateau under the steel construction of the Cross of the III. Millennium. From here we hike along the ridge over the saddle "U Panienki", the Groniczek and Gaiki peaks to the next saddle "Przegibek". The place is a salvation for the thirsty. There is only one refreshment option on the entire route, the Gawra buffet. On this hot summer day, we did not meet anybody in the forest or on the meadows. From the saddle we climb to Magurka Wilkowiczka and to the hut. The path is wide and offers beautiful views of the countryside and the city of Bielsko-Biała in the evening light.
