Crocus Spring, Crocus Meadow and St. Hubert's chapel
Just before reaching the Crocus Meadow, red signs turn right towards Wo艂tuszowa, a former Lemko village (this path is not suitable for strollers).
Meanwhile, a wide beaten path leads us to a bridge over a stream and a vast meadow with a shelter, tables, outdoor gym and more educational boards.
There is also a descent to the water (useful on a hot day!):
Do crocuses bloom at the Crocus Meadow by the Crocus Spring in spring? Unfortunately, we don't know as we arrived here too early... If you managed to see them, let us know!

A bit further in the Black Creek Valley, you'll find the chapel of St. Hubert, a place for feeding animals, and a meadow with a so-called forest education school.
P.S. If you also didn't manage to see crocuses at the Crocus Meadow in Ryman贸w Zdr贸j, we have some interesting facts about the saffron crocus and a crocus coloring page to cheer you up:
