The second part of the summer hike in the Żywiec-Orawa Beskid Mountains. We descend from Pilsko Mountain through Uszczawne Wyżne Mountain to Korbielów. From the peak, we reach the Góra Pięciu Kopców (Five Mounds Mountain), through the top of which runs the Polish-Slovak border. At the crossroads, we turn right and take the yellow trail through the beautiful Pilsko Reserve to Hala Miziowa (Miziowa Glade). From the glade, we reach Przełęcz Buczynka (Buczynka Pass) along the green trail, visiting the Górowa Skała (Górowa Rock) formation on the way and passing through the vast Hala Jodłowcowa (Jodłowcowa Glade). From the pass, we enter Uszczawne Wyżne Mountain on a path without a trail. We return to the black trail and through the scenic Hala Uszczawne (Uszczawne Glade) we reach another peak called Malorka. We descend to Korbielów along the blue trail through Przełęcz Przysłopy (Przysłopy Pass).
