A scenic hike through the Żywiec-Orawa Beskid Mountains. From Korbielów we ascend Pilsko, the second highest peak in the Western Beskids. Initially, the yellow trail leads along the western slope of Szlakówka, above the Buczynka Stream valley. In the thinnings of the forest, a view of Uszczawne Wyżne and Uszczawne Niżne appears. At the intersection of the trails at Czarny Groń, we turn left and reach Hala Kamieniańska and then Hala Miziowa. On the vast glade, there is a PTTK shelter, and to the east and north there is a wide view of Mały Beskid Mountains and the Babia Góra Massif. From Hala Miziowa, the black trail leads to the Polish-Slovak border and then the green trail to the Pilsko peak. From the top there is a wide view of the Żywiec-Orawa Beskids, the Żywiec-Kysuce Beskids, the Little Fatra, the Orava Magura, the Choč Mountains, the Tatra Mountains, the Little Beskids and the Silesian Beskids.
