The second part of this summer hike through the lesser-known corners of the Low Beskid Mountains. From the summit of Obycz, we descend through Jaworzynka to Wysowa-Zdrój. Following the blue trail, we reach junction point 22 and continue along an unmarked path to two viewing platforms. The first platform offers a view of Lackowa and Busov, while the second offers a view of Jaworzyna Konieczniańska. From the second platform, we walk through a forest without a path, along the remains of trenches from World War I. The trenches lead to the very summit of Jaworzynka. The summit is covered with beautiful Carpathian beech forest. We descend from Jaworzynka without any path to a road traversing the peak from the north. Further along forest roads, we reach the Szuwniak Stream valley, which leads to the Spa Park in Wysowa-Zdrój.

Jaworzynka Mountain (Jaworzynka Regietowska) – a peak with an elevation of 869 m a.s.l. in the western part of the Low Beskid Mountains. It is located in the Hańczowa Mountains, within the Kozie Żebro, Jaworzynka, and Obycz ranges. It borders Obycz to the southeast and Kozie Żebro to the northwest. The northeastern slopes descend to the Regetówka Stream valley, while the southwestern slopes descend to the Szuwniak Stream.

The summit and its slopes are covered with Carpathian beech forest, with a mixture of fir and larch on the southern side. The summit offers no views. There are two viewpoints on the ridge stretching towards Obycz. The northern one (closer to Jaworzynka) offers a wide view of Jaworzyna Konieczniańska and, in the distance, Kamienny Wierch and Czerteż. The southern one (closer to Obycz) offers views of Lackowa and Busov, and in clear weather, the Tatra Mountains are also visible.

There is no marked hiking trail leading to the summit. The summit can be reached from junction point 22, located on the blue trail near Obycz, or from junction 21, located on the bicycle trail. There is no marked path on the map.

From the second viewpoint, the remains of trenches from World War I stretch all the way to the summit. On March 27-28, 1915, a bloody battle between Austro-Hungarian and Tsarist forces took place here.
