A walk along the ridges of Rawka Mountains (Mała and Wielka Rawka) is worth extending all the way to the tri-border point on the summit of Krzemieniec / Kremenaros. It is a unique place on the map of Poland, and at the same time, a very scenic route!
Mała and Wielka Rawka
If we start our hike from Mała Rawka (for example, after reaching here via the green trail from Przełęcz Wyżniańska >>>), we first follow the yellow signs to Wielka Rawka.
The hike from Mała Rawka to Wielka Rawka should take us about 30 minutes and will surely provide us with many breathtaking views!
