Trail No 1 (red marks)
Red marks, part of the Beskidy Main Route.
Elevation difference 494 meters.
Hiking time: down - 2 ½ hrs and up - 4 hrs.
Upon leaving the Gondola station turn right in direction of Muszyna. Soon you cross the Gondola line and leave the ski run behind. Follow a steep path parallel to the Gondola line until you reach a beech forest. Mind the bilberry fields! You will certainly slow down a bit here – who can resist those juicy black fruits?
Trail runs here along a ski run until you reach the "Devil’s Stone". Looking right down at the valley you can see panorama of Krynica-Zdrój. From the Devil’s Stone you head towards the ski run. Take a path alongside the run; first directly under the Gondola line and then steep down through a beech forest parallel to the ski slope. The path becomes a road, wider and easier to walk, and soon it crosses the access road from Czarny Potok to Jaworzyna.

Green marks
Elevation difference 466 meters.

Take the uphill path traversing a beech forest. After 20 minutes you cross a ski run No. I and near the bottom station of the ski run No. III you meet the red trial marks. Both trails run together until you reach the Devil’s Stone.
From here a steep at first and then a gentler traverse alongside a spruce stand will take you to the ski run I and the junction with the Gondola lift.
