Bike trail and rosary paths from Wilczyce to 膯wilin
Although the ascent to 膯wilin from Wilczyce is not 'standardly' marked by PTTK, the yellow signs of the bike trail and the chapels passed along the way will help us with orientation.
Due to the dense network of forest roads and paths, it's worth having a detailed map, compass and GPS location enabled, as it's not always clear at intersections which way to go. Also, take a look at the route on the map in the article header!
Parking Rosary Road Wilczyce
The start of the route to 膯wilin in Wilczyce is located at the PKS stop. There is a small wild bay for a few cars here (marked as 'parking Rosary Road' on Google maps). There's a larger parking lot at the primary school.
The entire route runs through the forest, in the shade. Although we have to overcome more than 400 m of altitude difference, the road rises quite calmly, with wide bends, without particularly steep sections.
Attractions include chapels appearing along the way and a cascading waterfall on the Ros艂aniec stream.
After about an hour on a wide road, we leave the forest and enter a large, unfortunately overgrown, glade. In 10-15 min. we'll be at the top!
膯wilin and Michurowa Glade
Michurowa Glade on 膯wilin is one of the most scenic places in the area!
On a clear day, you can see the surrounding peaks of the Beskid Wyspowy (including Mogielica), as well as the Beskid S膮decki, Pieniny, Gorce, Beskid Makowski, Beskid 呕ywiecki with the dominating Babia G贸ra, and far to the west, the Beskid 艢l膮ski. The southern horizon is closed by the Tatra Mountains chain.
Unfortunately, sometimes the glade can also be foggy...
