From the shelter to Barania Góra
The road from the shelter to Barania Góra is a popular trail. The path is comfortable and wide, but you need to climb a bit (about 260 m), so it will be uphill! Sometimes you walk on loose stones, sometimes on a wooden path called 'dylowanka'.
The Sources of the Vistula on Barania Góra?
Will we find the famous sources of the Vistula while climbing Barania Góra from the shelter? Yes and no. Unfortunately, because these 'springs' are just a wet, marshy area, and a strictly protected reserve, we cannot reach this exact spot. We pass it while crossing the flat area between Wierch Równiański and Wierch Wisełka (where the black trail from Kamesznica joins).
