Start of the blue trail in Jurków

The blue trail passes through the center of the town: one way (southeast) will lead us to Mogielica, the other (west) - to Ćwilin. In Jurków, you can easily find a parking (for example, near the church or the cemetery).

After passing through the fields surrounding the town (pay attention to the view of the Mogielica massif, which we leave "behind") we enter the forest.

For most of the route, a wide forest road leads us up not very steep slopes.

In total, we have to overcome over 500 m of altitude difference. Therefore, in some places, it will be a bit more "uphill". Here is one of the most difficult sections:

On a clear day, wonderful views await us here: panorama of the Tatra Mountains, Beskid Wyspowy, Sądecki, Pieniny, Gorce, all the way to Babia Góra in the west.

However, sometimes the glade looks like this, also picturesque, but not exactly as we expected:
