The Red Trail from Glinne Pass to Hala Miziowa is not the shortest, but it is the easiest trail to the PTTK Shelter on Hala Miziowa. It only involves a 500-meter difference in altitude (while the trails from Korbielów have a 600-700 meter elevation gain).
Glinne Pass - the start of the red trail
At the pass, there is a large free parking area at the former border crossing. You can also use the restroom here, and there is a souvenir shop.
Border blue-red trail to Pilsko
The beginning of the trail is a gentle forest road that gradually climbs steeper towards the slopes of Pilsko. The trail is relatively less crowded, the path is rather narrow but well-maintained and without major difficulties. It goes through the forest, so except for late afternoon hours (when we are heading west), we should be walking in shade most of the time.
Along the way, there are no viewpoints or special attractions. We can take a break at the border markers we encounter along the way:
Splitting of the red trail to Hala Miziowa and the blue trail to the summit of Pilsko
The middle section of the trail is definitely the most challenging. After about an hour from entering the trail, the path becomes flatter, indicating that we are about to reach the split between the blue and red trails.
The blue trail continues to climb up to the summit of Pilsko, which takes about 1 more hour from here. The red trail turns right into the forest:
Red trail through Pilsko Reserve
The section of the red trail leading from the state border to Hala Miziowa is a very comfortable and pleasant forest path. It takes us through the wild forest of the Pilsko Reserve. Note: Dogs are not allowed in the reserve! The path ascends very gently, sometimes going straight or even downhill!
Hala Miziowa
After about 2 hours from entering the trail, we reach the lower part of the meadows of Hala Miziowa. A few more minutes of climbing through a scenic meadow, and we reach our destination:
PTTK Shelter on Hala Miziowa
On the plateau, you will be rewarded with mountain panoramas and, of course, a rest at the shelter:
