Parking at Przełęcz Przegibek
The easiest way to get to Przełęcz Przegibek is by car - there is a large parking lot here, as well as the "Gawra" inn (serving snacks, drinks, sweets, with indoor and outdoor seating).
After crossing to the other side of the road, you will find two diverging paths - the ski trail on the left and the blue hiking trail on the right:
The hiking trail runs along the western slope of Sokołówka, it is wide but rocky and somewhat steep in places, but after a while, it becomes gentler and less rocky. The path mostly goes through the forest or along its edge - along the way, you can enjoy nice views of Bielsko-Biała.
After joining the red and green trails, the path continues along a gentle ridge. The lack of shade is compensated by the views - including the Żar mountain with a pumped-storage power plant, Lake Międzybrodzkie, and the city of Bielsko-Biała:
Soon, you will reach a vast meadow, the summit of Magurka Wilkowicka (909 m above sea level), and the PTTK Shelter (phone number: 033 817-04-21). The shelter has a restaurant (serving soups, meat and vegetarian dishes, including pancakes and delicious steamed dumplings with plum jam, with seating inside and outside) and offers accommodation.
