The best running trails around Jaworze

It's a pleasant ride up through Szyndzielnia, with a consistent, moderate incline and a few steeper sections before the Szyndzielnia summit. Only behind the refuge do you have to push the bike for a short distance, then it's back to a pleasant and wide trail towards Klimczok, where pushing the bike may be necessary near the summit depending on your strength. At the very top is a large meadow, and a refuge a little lower down. In good weather, you can see the Tatras from the summit.

Nice place for lunch. The Ukrainian chefs make excellent solianka and zureck.

During the Stations of the Cross in 2000 in the Colosseum in Rome, Pope John Paul II expressed the following thoughts, which may also be of interest to passersby here in front of this small sacred monument, which stands here in the form of a simple wooden cross: "Was it not necessary for the Messiah to suffer these things and enter into his glory?" (Luke 24:26). At the end of the traditional Stations of the Cross at the Colosseum, we ask ourselves the same question. (...) Dear sisters and brothers! The people of today need an encounter with the crucified and risen Jesus! Who, if not the divinely condemned One, can fully understand the suffering of the one who is unjustly condemned? Who, if not the mocked and humiliated King, can answer the expectations of the many men and women who are without hope and degraded? Who, if not the crucified Son of God, can understand the pain and abandonment of the many people who despair of life because they have no future ahead of them? (Pope John Paul II)

The President Ignacy Mościcki Dam – a concrete and earth dam built in 1929–1932 on the Wapienica River and the Barbara stream in the town of Wapienica (today a district of Bielsko-Biała). The reservoir created by damming the water is called Wielka Łąka Lake. Due to the purpose of the reservoir (water collection for consumption purposes), its banks are inaccessible to the public (the reservoir is covered by a direct sanitary protection zone), while the catchment areas of the Wapienica, Barbara and Żydowski streams constitute a strict protection zone. The water in the reservoir meets the standards for Class I water purity in terms of physicochemical and bacteriological parameters. This condition has been maintained since 1993. There is no fishing economy here in any form and there is a ban on practicing water sports. There are also filter stations that purify water for municipal purposes.

The shelter was built in 1925–1926. It was built by the German Tourist Association "Friends of Nature" (German Touristen-Verein "Naturfreunde") from Aleksandrowice. The builder was carpenter Jan Krechut from Jaworze. The official opening took place on May 23, 1926. The shelter has 50 beds in double and multi-person rooms. There is a buffet with a dining room, and in the summer season, a garden is also open.

Great shelter in a beautiful area. Located at an altitude of 917m above sea level in the Silesian Beskids with fantastic views of the surrounding area. Accommodation is available, there is a restaurant and even rooms for families and children. They will not allow you to sleep on the floor, but you can pitch a tent and then use the toilets. The shelter is quite modern, neat and well-kept. Worth it! https://blatnia.pl/

Klimczok (1117 m above sea level) is a popular peak in the Silesian Beskids, located on the administrative border between Bielsko-Biała and Szczyrk. The peak offers picturesque views of the surrounding mountain ranges, and in good weather you can even see the Tatras. Several hiking trails lead to Klimczok, including the green and blue trail from Szczyrk, as well as the yellow trail from Bielsko-Biała through Szyndzielnia. Just below the peak is the PTTK Klimczok shelter, offering accommodation and meals for tourists. The trails are accessible to people of varying degrees of advancement, but it is worth stocking up on appropriate footwear, especially after rainfall, when the trails can be slippery.
