Summer hike in the Żywiec-Kysuce Beskid Mountains. From Rycerka Górna we take the yellow trail to Wielka Racza. We set off from the parking lot located at Rycerski Potok. The trail leads mostly along a forest road on the eastern slopes of the Wielka Racza massif. In places, views of the neighboring peaks of Kołyska Groń and Bendoszka Wielka are revealed. Just before the summit, we enter a fragment of the upper montane forest, which here turns into the low upper forest line. At the top, there is a natural meadow with a viewing platform. There is a vast panorama of the Little Fatra Mountains, Orava Magura, Żywiec-Kysuce Beskid Mountains, Żywiec-Orava Beskid Mountains, Moravian-Silesian Beskids and the Silesian Beskids.
