Black Trail starts at the PTSM shelter in Zawoja We艂cza (parking, grocery store, bus stop are available near the shelter). You can also drive further on the asphalt road, and at the last bus stop, there is a small parking area for 2-3 cars.
At this point, the road forks: the black trail leads straight up the rocky road, along the stream. After a while, the road splits again: the black trail goes left across the stream towards Hala Barankowa, and the paved road (cycling trail) goes right towards Prze艂臋cz Klekociny and Zygmunt贸wka.
After crossing the stream, the black trail ascends steeply uphill, but after about 20 minutes, we reach a meadow with a view of Babia G贸ra. It took us a little over an hour to reach the meadow from the PTSM shelter.
On Hala Barankowa (further along the black trail), you can encounter flocks of sheep because there is a shepherd's hut selling delicious and fresh sheep milk products!
We continued our hike on the yellow trail towards Magurka / Kolisty Gro艅. The first part of the trail was quite demanding, with a narrow, rocky, and steep gorge to overcome.
However, as we got closer to the destination, the trail became easier, and we were rewarded with views of Babia G贸ra and blueberry fields beneath our feet!
The climb ends at a picturesque meadow, Hala Kami艅skiego, below Kolisty Gro艅:
If it weren't for the approaching rain clouds, we would have continued to the hill just beyond the M臋dralowa pass. However, we decided to descend to Prze艂臋cz Klekociny on the green trail and take a rest at Zygmunt贸wka.
Prze艂臋cz Klekociny and Zygmunt贸wka
Zygmunt贸wka used to be a tourist station just below the pass, offering accommodation and serving tea, grilled sausages, or scrambled eggs to passing hikers (and stamping the PTTK hiking book). Today, it operates as a "guesthouse" and accommodates organized groups, even though it has disappeared from the latest tourist maps...
From Prze艂臋cz Klekociny to Zawoja - We艂cza
We returned to Zawoja We艂cza along a wide paved forest road (cycling trail, approximately 4 km), which took us about an hour to reach the starting point.
