Easy trails in the Silesian Beskids for children and more
The Silesian Beskids is a region known for its accessibility to tourists with various needs and capabilities. Here you will find both challenging climbs on steep slopes and gentle, scenic ridges, as well as picturesque valleys accessible to everyone: even toddlers in strollers. We have a few suggestions for easy, scenic routes with attractions in the Silesian Beskids, perfect for a family walk!
Silesian Beskids with a stroller
The picturesque stream valleys in the Silesian Beskids are ideal routes for those who are not interested in mountain climbing. Thanks to comfortable, paved roads, they are accessible to everyone: strollers, disabled people, or those with limited mobility.
Bia艂a Wise艂ka Valley and Rod艂a Cascade
One of the most popular trails in the Silesian Beskids, accessible for strollers, is the blue trail in the Bia艂a Wise艂ka Valley. The last stretch of the road to the "Rod艂a Cascade" waterfall is a bit more difficult, but with a little effort, you can do it!

Zimnik Valley in Lipowa
A convenient asphalt road also leads through the Zimnik Valley in Lipowa at the foot of Malinowska Ska艂a. Compared to the Bia艂a Wise艂ka Valley, there will be more sun here, but fewer attractions in the form of waterfalls and steep rocky banks.

Scenic mountain ridge walks in the Silesian Beskids
If you want it to be easy, but still "with views", we recommend you mountain ridge walks in the Silesian Beskids. To make it easier to reach these scenic trails, you can use year-round cable cars, for example, to Skrzyczne or Male Skrzyczne, to Wielka Czantoria, to Sosz贸w, or to Sto偶ek.
Picturesque ridge Skrzyczne - Malinowska Ska艂a
After using the cable car to Skrzyczne, or to Ma艂e Skrzyczne, we have a wide scenic road towards the famous Malinowska Ska艂a. It won't be as easy as in the valleys: there will be ups and downs, but without major difficulties. The attractions of this route are beautiful views (neighboring ranges of the Silesian Beskids, 呕ywiecki Beskids with Babia G贸ra, Ma艂y Beskids) there will also be a rest in the shelter on Skrzyczne, and for children: a frog monument at the top of Skrzyczne.
Easy
Skrzyczne - Malinowska Skala
Trail along the ridge Wielka Czantoria - Sosz贸w
The best way to get to the scenic, border ridge between the peaks of Wielka Czantoria and Sto偶ek Wielki is by cable car to Czantoria, but year-round chair lifts to Sosz贸w and Sto偶ek Wielki are also available. Along the way, views of both the Polish and Czech sides and 3 peaks with shelters (warm meals, snacks, sweets, drinks... and stamps!).

Hungarian Beskids ridge: Kotarz and Hala Jaworowa from Salmopol Pass
The trail along the ridge of the Hungarian Beskids is a bit less scenic, as it mainly leads through the forest. However, at the very top, a picturesque and scenic Hala Jaworowa awaits us. In addition, we can get to the beginning of the trail by car or bus and we don't have to use chair lifts.

Short and easy mountain routes in the Silesian Beskids
Or maybe you feel like climbing a bit? Conquer the peak on your own and earn a "medal" in the form of a stamp in the shelter? Here it is undeniable that it will be "uphill", but the routes we propose are relatively short and without particularly difficult and long steep climbs.
The easiest trail in the Silesian Beskids - D臋bowiec
A route so easy and short that even a clever two-year-old will manage! A restaurant and a playground await at the destination. There will also be a commemorative stamp for conquering the peak!
Easy
D臋bowiec from Olsz贸wka G贸rna
PS. If this short and easy route is not enough for you, you can go further from D臋bowiec to Szyndzielnia >>> However, this is a longer and not so easy route (approx. 600 m difference in altitude to overcome).
From Wis艂a to Sto偶ek Wielki
We can take a cable car to Sto偶ek Wielki, but the green trail from Wis艂a 艁abaj贸w is a short and not very difficult route. There will be steep sections here, but not very long ones. At the destination awaits a cozy shelter with over 100 years of history!

From Ustro艅 Zdr贸j to R贸wnica
Yes, you can drive to the scenic meadows on R贸wnica, but maybe it's worth trying to get here on your own? There are two routes from Ustro艅 to the top of R贸wnica: both red trails. We definitely recommend the one from Ustro艅-Zdr贸j. First of all, on the way you will have a stop at the spring and the mysterious Evangelicals' stone, secondly: the route from Ustro艅 Polana partially leads along the roadside of a busy asphalt road during the season.
Just below the peak: former shelter, today PTTK R贸wnica Inn (there will be a commemorative stamp!). In season also a rope park, a summer toboggan run and many other attractions.
