The yellow trail starts at the car park adjoining the lower station of the gondola lift. It slopes up all long the distance. The first part of the trail goes under the gondola lift and keeps on climbing as it proceeds. Past a few houses, it enters a forest and meanders onwards, crossing many ski pistes on the way. 2 kilometres away, you reach the Skrzyczeńska Pasture (Hala Skrzyczeńska), 1000 m a.s.l. Do take a short break here and sip of cup of aromatic coffee whilst admiring the local peaks.
The last part of the trail is a gentle climb to the top of the Little Skrzyczne Mountain (Małe Skrzyczne). Here, you can either go to the highest peak of the Silesian Beskids (Beskid Śląski) – namely Skrzyczne 1257 m a.s.l. – or choose the Malinowska Rock (Malinowska Skała) 1152 m a.s.l.
Hint: The more difficult part of the trip to the Skrzyczeńska Pasture (Hala Skrzyczeńska). You can use the gondola lift and then continue your journey.
