Path Start

The path starts at Partyzantów Street on the Tuchów - Zalasowa route. If you come here by car, you will find parking and the trail entrance at the very beginning of the path. Unfortunately, the trail is only accessible by car - Partyzantów Street, where the path starts, has no sidewalk or bike path, and cars drive quite fast, so walking or biking here, especially with children, is simply not safe. There are also no bus stops or public transport options near the trail entrance.

Before the entrance, you will find a map with the drawn route. If you have a stroller or bike, you can reach the ponds; the rest of the loop is a terrain path for hiking.

Bird Watching

It's worth bringing binoculars for the walk - the path is a great place for bird watching. Many birdhouses are hung on the trees along the path, where you can spot interesting bird species, especially in spring. You can learn a lot of interesting information from the educational boards - including the singing times of different bird species and types of birdhouses.
