Construction of the S1 Route near the Red Trail in Węgierska Górka

Information boards warn about difficulties due to the construction of the S1 route. Honestly, we didn't encounter any major issues, just an interesting view:

Hala Radziechowska and the Summit of Magurka Radziechowska, 1108 meters above sea level

After descending from the top of Glinne, you gently rise to the vast meadows of Hala Radziechowska. From here, the panoramas are very wide and almost "all-around." Unfortunately, we were caught by rain here, and the clouds spoiled the view a bit... No worries, we will definitely come back!

After approaching the summit with the "Magurka Radziechowska" sign and the trail junction (the green trail from Lipowa Ostra also arrives here), be sure to go a bit further on the red trail (about 10 minutes) towards the beautiful rock formations - it's really worth it!
