Blue Trail Rabka Zaryte - Lubo艅 Wielki
The first part of the hike is a path between buildings, then along the edge of meadows up the Rolskiego stream valley.
On a hot summer day, this part (about 1 km) will have a lot of sun. Soon, however, we will enter the forest, which will accompany us to the end of our route.
Watch for trail markers! In several places where side paths and forest roads branch off, there are no clear markers! Always pay attention to not lose the signs!
Here is a chapel with benches. It's worth stopping here before continuing the climb. You can see the exact location of this place on the map in the article header.
In the forest, it will get steeper, sometimes quite steep, especially on sections leading through narrow, rocky ravines.
When our blue markers join with the green ones, it means we are very close to the goal! The path will not be as steep, and in a few minutes, we will be at the top of Lubo艅 Wielki!
