The ascent in both directions to the top is very rocky with a strong approach. You can't do without getting off the bike and pushing. The views at the top are amazing, a good place for an Instagram photo :)

Several options for access from Bielsko, Szczyrk or simply by lift :) At the top there is a beautiful panorama, which will reward us for the hardships of the ascent to the top.
