A short but very comfortable route for a forest walk with a stroller.

We start in Folusz - right next to the road, there is a large, shaded educational-recreational park with a playground. We head towards Magura Wątkowska on the green and yellow trail. Initially, it's an asphalt road with allowed car traffic, but only until the parking lot at the park's border.

Then the road continues, still wide and well-maintained. It leads to a meadow where the trails diverge: here you can find benches, a good place for a picnic.

Along the way, there is plenty of shade (on both sides of the forest) and the murmuring of the capricious Kłopotnica stream.

Attractions include mysterious moss-covered ruins of a sawmill, bridges over the Kłopotnica stream (where you can throw stones), and a meadow for dessert :)

If we can switch from a stroller to a baby carrier, we also recommend a short walk to the Devil's Stone Reserve: the black trail will lead us here from the Kłopotnica Valley in 15-20 minutes (forest path, quite steep), or a slightly longer walk to the Magurski Waterfall (about 1 hour, black trail and nature trail in Folusz).

In Folusz, there is a large park with a playground and trout fishing spots and smokehouses: one right next to the green trail - highly recommended!

For tourists who want to go hiking with a stroller in the Low Beskids, we recommend mainly the flat valleys of former Lemko villages. ...
