It was possible to reach the summit with a bike trailer from the green trail side, although it requires some skill. The summit is wooded, there are no views.

This highlight features Wawel Castle. The dragon is located further along the river.

The Wawel Dragon breathes real fire, but only for about 2-3 seconds, so you have to be quick with your pictures.

A bronze sculpture commemorating a Polish dog who took his role as man's best friend very seriously. It was created by local artist Bronislaw Chromy and unveiled in 2001 by a German sheperd named Kety, by pulling the veil with her teeth. Dzok was a black mongrel whose owner died of a heart attack near the Grunwaldskie roundabout in 1990. For about a year, Dzok waited for his master to reurn, surviving on snacks supplied by local residents. Only after, he allowed himself to be taken in by a new owner.

A beautiful shelter at an altitude of 730m above sea level in the Lubomir and Łysina Range of the Beskid Średni. Many trails intersect here, so as a base camp this place is great. Nice, modern rooms for overnight stays. There is a kitchen, but you have to bring your own food - they don't serve food here. More at https://kudlacze.pttk.pl/index.html
