Explore the Polish Beskids on marked marked hiking and cycling trails. From Magurka Wilkowicka, with a height of 909 meters above sea level, you have a beautiful panoramic view on the Little Beskids, the Silesian Beskids and the Żywiec Beskids: for example on Babią Górę, Pilsko, Skrzyczne and Klimczok, Wielka Racza, Barania Góra and when the weather is good also on the Tatra Mountains.
During the summer the cross country skiing trails on Magurka Mountain serve as running, hiking and cycling trails. In June and September you can take part in the spring (June) or autumn (September) Uphill Magurka MTB Contest. On top of Magurka Mountain you should take a break in the lodge of Archduchess Maria Theresa Habsburg, where you can eat real Polish dishes like bigos, a traditional meat and cabbage stew. Outside the refuge, a multi-purpose construction was built, harmonizing with the surroundings as it combines modernity with regional architecture. Its interesting roof has an original construction serving as a hill for testing ski waxes before competitions start. During summer it serves as a panorama terrace.
The Virgin Mary Trail (Różańcowy Szlak Maryjny) from Meszna to the Sanctuary of Virgin Mary on Górka in Szczyrk comprises 19 wonderful handcrafted chapels from artists from the Beskids and the nearby Podhale region.
