The yellow trail to the new observation tower on Malnik from Muszyna is the shortest way to this newest attraction in the Beskid S膮decki mountains. The trail leads through a narrow forest path. It can be steep in places, but there are no major terrain difficulties.
Start of the Yellow Trail to the Observation Tower in Muszyna
The yellow trail crosses Muszyna-Zdr贸j near two interesting, historic buildings: the Starost's Manor (now a cozy restaurant) and the Regional Museum of the Muszyna State. Nearby, there are parking lots, and not far away, there is also a bus stop and the PKP Muszyna-Zdr贸j train station.
Initially, the yellow trails lead us through Muszyna's streets towards the forest. We climb uphill to a small parking lot by the roadside. Here, we must choose: do we follow the marked yellow trail (it will be steeper but faster and shaded), or do we choose the easier, scenic, but slightly longer route (then turn right).

Jewish Cemetery in Muszyna
Just before entering the forest, by the yellow trail, there is a well-maintained Jewish Cemetery. The gate is closed, but you can see dozens of tombstones on the steep slope from behind the fence.
After entering the forest, we face the most challenging part of the hike. For about 15-20 minutes, we climb a narrow forest path (but it is shaded).
After passing the telecommunications relay station, the path flattens out, and our destination is in sight:
