Highlight • Trail

An interesting place after an opencast quarry. I recommend climbing the ladder. In my opinion, high but safe. A short but intense episode.

Mountain Tourist House "Under the Biskupia Kopa"

Highlight • Mountain Hut

A beautiful PTTK mountain shelter at an altitude of 850 meters above sea level, near the summit of Biskupia Kopa (hence its name, of course). The shelter was built here in 1923, but was later rebuilt.
