Starting point of the green trail in Lipnik / Kobielnik

The green trail to Lubomir starts from Wi艣niowa through the PKS Lipnik Granice bus stop, but you can also reach it from the PKS Kobielnik Wirchy bus stop. Those with vehicles can drive to the free parking at the end of the asphalt road, just before the trail entrance. The parking lot can accommodate several cars. From the parking lot, you can already enjoy a beautiful view of Kotlinka Wi艣niowa, the Krzyworzeka valley, and the entire Cietnia Range: from the cone-shaped Grodzisko (on the left) to the massive Ciecie艅.

Lubomir Summit... and what's next?

Firstly, you can return to the trail entrance the same way (the descent will take about 20-30 minutes). It is definitely worth walking a few hundred meters further on the red trail to the viewpoint in the north, 10 minutes from the summit of Lubomir (exact location on the map at the end of the article).

Loop from Lipnik: Lubomir - Kud艂acze - Sucha Polana

After reaching Lubomir on the green trail, you can make a loop by walking along the ridge through 艁ysina on the red (or less frequented black) trail to the PTTK Kud艂acze Shelter. Then, descend to Polana Sucha on the green trail and return to the parking lot on the new black trail.

During such a trip, covering a distance of about 10 km with an elevation difference of about 400 meters, you will not only conquer the highest peak of the Beskid Makowski, Lubomir (904 meters above sea level), and the astronomical observatory but also visit the viewpoint, the atmospheric PTTK shelter on the scenic Polana Kud艂acze, and the picturesque Polana Sucha, which is important for the region's history.

PS. You can also shorten the loop by using the steep yellow 艁ysina - Polana Sucha trail. In this case, you will not visit the shelter at Kud艂acze, but your trip will be reduced to 6.5 km (with a 330 m elevation difference, to be covered in about 2 hours).
