In summer, access from the parking lot is much easier. A wide gravel path leads from Mecina Wielka or Mała, followed by steep forest trails. Access from Mecina Mała is also available via a narrow asphalt road, which leads to the parking lot.

From the Wapienne side, there's a fairly long ascent, while from the other side, from Niżne, there's a much shorter but steeper ascent. Currently, in winter, there's knee-deep snow in places, so hiking poles are recommended. Despite the good markings, a GPS or a map on your phone is recommended.

In winter, when everything is covered in snow, you have to look at the trees and trail markings. In summer, there are plenty of paths, even if you get lost, you can find another path.

Basilica of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Sanctuary of the Lord Jesus in the Prison in Gorlice - a Catholic religious building, the temple was built in the years 1885-1892 in the neo-Renaissance style. The construction of the church was undertaken by the then parish priest Marceli Żabicki. The author of the design was Fr. Franciszek Pavoni, an Italian monk, the superior of the Dominicans in Kraków. In 1915, the temple was seriously damaged as a result of warfare. It was rebuilt in the years 1921-1932. In the years 2000-2003, the church was renovated. On May 23, 2009, by decision of Benedict XVI, the church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Gorlice became a minor basilica. The ceremonial act of granting was presented by Bishop Kazimierz Górny, the ordinary of the Rzeszów diocese.
