The asphalt road continues all the way to the "Zapa艂ka" Air Radar. However, towards the end of the valley, there are some steep slopes that may be tiring for young cyclists and stroller users. The downhill sections at the end of the route may also be too steep for younger children.

The "Zapa艂ka" Radar

Topped with a spherical dome and standing at 30m high, the local residents call the air radar "Zapa艂ka". It is a distinctive point on the edge of Zabierz贸w Forest, located at the entrance to the forest from Le艣na Street in Zabierz贸w. The radar is visible, for example, from Pi艂sudski Mound and serves Balice Airport, as well as serving as a backup for Pyrzowice Airport.

"Ska艂a Kmity" Reserve

For avid hikers, we recommend exploring the "Ska艂a Kmity" loop trail. The trail starts near the parking lot of Grzybowska Valley, at J贸zef Kruk Street. The trail within the reserve is rough at the beginning with steeper sections, but then it gradually becomes more pleasant and easier. The reserve, although small, is very interesting, and from the Kmity Rock, there is a captivating panorama.
