The shortest and easiest route to the Bac贸wka PTTK on Rycerzowa leads from Sobl贸wka by the yellow trail. Once you reach the shelter, you can expect beautiful views from the slopes of Wielka and Ma艂a Rycerzowa.
Sobl贸wka: starting point of the yellow trail to Rycerzowa
The easiest trail to Bac贸wka PTTK on Rycerzowa and to the scenic peaks of Wielka and Ma艂a Rycerzowa leads from the town of Sobl贸wka near Ujso艂y. You can get here by bus or car. The trail starts at the church, the PKS stop and a fairly large free parking lot.
Interestingly, from the same place, there are two direct trails to Bac贸wka PTTK on Rycerzowa (yellow and a slightly longer black one) and two "indirect" ones: by the green trail we can reach Prze艂臋cz Przys艂op, and from there to Wielka Rycerzowa by the border blue trail, while the blue trail will lead us to Prze艂臋cz Kotarz, from where the green trail leads to Ma艂a Rycerzowa. This gives us several different possibilities to loop and not return to the starting point the same way.
Yellow trail Sobl贸wka - Bac贸wka PTTK on Rycerzowa
The beginning of the route (over a kilometer) is a comfortable forest road, first asphalt:
and then a beaten path, but still very comfortable:
After about 20 min. from entering the trail, yellow and blue signs turn off onto a narrow path to the right. It gets steeper and narrower, but more and more scenic! Soon we reach the trail junction, we turn left:
Views from the yellow trail from Sobl贸wka to Rycerzowa
The higher we climb, the sparser the forest becomes, and behind us, wider panoramas open up. It's worth stopping and looking back!
Initially, we will see the forested hill of Smerekowa Wielkiego towering over Sobl贸wka, then a fragment of the nearby border range.
However, after turning the yellow trail south, we will have a much wider view: from Lipowski Wierch and Rysianka, through Pilsko and Krawc贸w Wierch, to Babia G贸ra and Prze艂臋cz Glinka.
From this moment (this is about halfway) we have a fairly gentle approach to the destination of our route. Along the way, we will enter a denser forest again, where we will meet the green trail from Ujso艂y.
Soon the green trails will turn off to the picturesque meadows of Ma艂a Rycerzowa:
Meanwhile, we are going through the forest to the shelter, which is very, very close. Just the black signs will join us (this is an alternative trail from Sobl贸wka):
...and we are at our destination!
Bac贸wka PTTK on Rycerzowa under Prze艂臋cz Halna
As soon as we leave the forest we will see our goal: a cozy shelter between the peaks of Wielka and Ma艂a Rycerzowa. Here it is: Bac贸wka PTTK on Rycerzowa.
Prze艂臋cz Halna, Wielka and Ma艂a Rycerzowa
The name of the shelter is somewhat misleading. In fact, it is located not so much "on" as between the two Rycerzowas, Ma艂a and Wielka, and more precisely a little below the pass connecting the peaks, Prze艂臋cz Halna.
Right from the shelter, you will see everything that is most beautiful: Pilsko, Babia G贸ra and the Tatras.
However, it is worth going a little higher: to Prze艂臋cz Halna and the meadows on the slopes of Ma艂a and Wielka Rycerzowa. The panorama from here is even more breathtaking!
...and back to Sobl贸wka
The descent to the starting point of the trail in Sobl贸wka will take us about 1 hour 15 min. by the yellow trail, or about 1.5 hours by the black trail.
