On the last day of April, encouraged by wonderful spring weather we've decided to make a short trip to our nearby Beskid Śląski (mountains reaching about 1200 meters).
To go for a trip to
Beskid Śląski you need to reach
Bielsko-Biała City at first. It's easy to get there by train from Katowice (or by car obviously). Leave the train on
Bielsko-Biała Główna railway station, cross the street and try to catch BUS 1 or 1s to
'Cygański Las', go out on last bus stop. There you can easily start your trip following signs.
1. First Photo is taken just on the beginning by crossing little creek.
2. Then climb slowly and patiently up the hill having on the right old and not used anymore toboggan run (on the map orange one, second photo)
3. Reaching
Kozia Góra you can experience amazing sights. On the top, there is mountain shelter, where you can try some of local dishes, or, what we recommend the most, prepare sausage on a fire, sitting by a fireplace.
4. Going to
Kołowrót pass try to enjoy yourself with wild nature and fresh air. The trial goes gently down and hike is not tiring.
5. On
Szyndzielnia, those very tired can travel down with Cable Car, that we don't recommend, because the trial goes gently down to the end of our trip, and you'll miss views such as '
hub mushroom', a rare parasite living on trees.
6. Going down to
Wapienica Valley it is getting a bit foggy. As you reach
Wapienica Damm, turn right, the trial turns into asphalt road, where you can meet lots of people riding a bike, or jogging. After about 20 minutes you will reach
Wapienica Bus Stop, where catching bus 10 or 16 you will get back to
Bielsko-Biała Główna railway station.
I hope, I've encouraged you to visit
Beskid Śląski, see you on trial! :)
Tips:
When You meet someone on trial, you say '
Dzień Dobry', that means 'Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening'
Littering is strictly prohibited!
Take lots of water (there are no shops on trial) and rain coat (the weather in mountain can change every minute).
