The easiest trail to the observation tower on Holica starts from Ustianowa Dolna. From the parking lot, a wide paved road, mostly asphalt, leads directly to the tower. The route is accessible for walkers, cyclists, and people with disabilities. However, remember that it's not flat, and there is an elevation difference of about 250 meters.
From Ustianowa G贸rna to Holica
In Ustianowa G贸rna, right before entering the trail and the barrier towards the Holica peak and the observation tower, there is a large paid parking lot available for drivers, with a few tables and benches nearby. A bit earlier, there is also a smaller parking lot (locations of both places are on the map in the article header).
From the parking lot, we head along a wide comfortable road towards the peak. It's over 4 km one way, and it will take about 1.5 hours to reach the destination.
