The blue trail from R贸wnica to the 呕uk贸w range and to the new tower on Holicy combines several attractions: visiting a historic wooden church, a forest walk, and beautiful panoramas from the viewing tower's terrace.
Historic wooden Boyko church in R贸wnia
The best way to start your hike from the town of R贸wnia to the viewing tower on Holicy is by visiting the historic Boyko church (there is also a small free parking lot here). The wooden temple dates back to the 18th century. Unfortunately, nothing but the walls and a few tombstones have survived from the times when it served the local Greek Catholic population. The preserved elements of the church's equipment, dedicated to the Protection of the Mother of God in R贸wnia (a few icons), are now in the museum in 艁a艅cut.
Start of the blue trail in R贸wnia
The blue trail cuts through the center of R贸wnia and heads south along a wide and comfortable beaten path. Right next to it, you will find a shelter and a small playground.
Blue trail R贸wnia - 呕uk贸w - viewing tower on Holicy
Most of the blue trail from R贸wnia towards the viewing tower on Holicy is a forest road that slowly ascends towards the ridge of 呕uk贸w. Only after turning off the educational path does it start to get steep. Fortunately, this is not a very long section and after about 20-30 minutes of climbing, we can continue to walk at a leisurely pace.
呕uk贸w - ridge walk towards
After reaching the ridge of 呕uk贸w, we turn right along with the blue signs.
A wide beaten path leads us through the forest. After about 15 minutes, the blue trail descends to the left towards Dasz贸wka and Tele艣nica Oszwarowa. However, to reach the tower, we continue straight - this time not on a forest, but on a hardened gravel-asphalt road. The destination of our route is already in sight!
From the tower, it's worth walking about 500 m further to a campsite, i.e., a vast meadow with a viewpoint, a shelter, numerous benches, tables, a place for a bonfire, information boards about the gliding site, and nature puzzles for children. You can also use the toilet here.
