From Żabnica to Słowianka
There are two trails leading from Żabnica to the Mountain Tourist Station Słowianka: the longer red trail starts from the town center (takes less than 3 hours and covers nearly 8 km one way), and the shorter black trail starts from Żabnica Skałka.
You can find parking at Żabnica Skałka at the end of the asphalt road (free and a few paid spots), but also a bit further at the forest border (see the photo on the map):
Black Trail to Słowianka
The black trail leads us through the valley of the Suchy stream for almost two kilometers on a wide paved road. The trail is comfortable enough that you can easily take a stroll with a stroller with larger wheels on this section.
Only the last 30 minutes of the route involve a typical forest climb (over a distance of 1 km, we cover a height difference of 150 m):
