A picturesque hike in the Sącz Beskid Mountains. From Krynica-Zdrój we ascend Jaworzyna Krynicka, the highest peak of the Jaworzyna Range. On the Main Beskid Trail marked in red, we pass through the Drabiakówka Ridge covered with a forest shimmering with all the colors of autumn. Behind the ridge, we cross the Czarny Potok and through scenic glades we reach the ski slopes cutting the eastern slopes of Jaworzyna. Then, through a beautiful beech and fir forest, we reach the Diabelski Kamień, an inanimate nature monument with original shapes. Then, on the red trail, along the eastern slopes, we climb Jaworzyna Krynicka. From the peak, there are distant views of the Low Beskid Mountains, the Sącz Beskid Mountains, the Čergov Mountains, the Levoča Mountains, the Spiš Magura and the Tatra Mountains.
