The trail from Zawoja-Wełcza to Lachów Groń is a very scenic route for a walk at the foot of Babia Góra, where you will conquer the 3 highest peaks of the Jałowiecki Range: Jałowiec (1111 m above sea level), Czerniawa Sucha (1052 m above sea level) and Lachów Groń (1045 m above sea level).
Zawoja Wełcza - Jałowiec
The first part of our journey is the blue trail from Zawoja - Wełcza to Jałowiec. The trail starts at the PTSM shelter, you can leave your car near the church or the shop.
We first climb a narrow path, then a wide forest road. From the south, the majestic silhouette of Babia Góra appears, and just before the intersection with the yellow trail, the Polic Range also appears.
After nearly 2 hours of hiking (4 km, approx. 500 m ascent), we reach the highest peak of our route: Jałowiec (1111 m above sea level). Here we find a beautiful scenic meadow (with Pilsko in the main role), a shelter and a place for a bonfire.

From Jałowiec, we descend to the south-west, down the Trzebuńska Glade yellow trail and after a moment of climbing (approx. 40 min. from the descent from Jałowiec), we reach the forested peak of Czerniawa Sucha (1052 m above sea level).
Czerniawa Sucha has as many as 3 peaks, if we want to see the view to the south we have to turn off for a moment on the green trail towards Hala Kamińskiego. Only on the southernmost peak, a scenic glade awaits us.

The last part of our route is a comfortable walk along a wide forest road.
