A scenic hike along the Educational Trail "Jaszcze Stream Valley" in the Gorce Mountains. From the Jaszcze hamlet in Ochotnica Górna we ascend Magurki. We stop at the Zagroniówka viewpoint, where we admire the beautiful panorama of the Lubań Range. Then the trail leads through the forest, in places revealing more views of the neighboring peaks. We reach the vast Magurki Glade, from which there is a distant view of the Tatras. At the top of Magurki there is an observation tower, from which there is a wide view of the Tatras, the Gorce Mountains, the Low Beskid Mountains, the Sącz Beskid Mountains and the Pieniny Mountains. From the top we descend through the picturesque Jaszcze Stream Valley, along the way visiting the site of the Liberator Bomber crash from 1944.
