Beskid Trip
"Mountains may remain unchanged, but each of us experiences them differently".
Ryszard Pawłowski
Mountaineer, climber, and conqueror of eleven eight-thousanders
How did it all begin?
The Kozminski Beskid Trip – with the participation of the Rector of Kozminski University, Prof. Grzegorz Mazurek, along with students and faculty members – was launched in 2022.
The goal of these trips is to complete the famous Main Beskid Trail (GSB), the longest marked hiking trail in the Polish mountains. The GSB stretches from Ustroń in the Silesian Beskids to Wołosate in the Bieszczady Mountains. Marked red, the trail was established in the interwar period and extends for around five hundred kilometers.
The first trek took place from September 5–9, 2022, covering some of the most beautiful routes in the Silesian Beskids. Participants managed to summit peaks such as Równica, Czantoria, Soszów, Stożek, and Barania Góra.
The second trek, held from September 6–10, 2023, traversed the trails of the Żywiec Beskids. Hikers summited Hala Boracza, Prusów, Rysianka, Pilsko, Sokolica, and Babia Góra.
Together, we have covered around 160 kilometers so far.
The third trek, from September 3–7, 2024, explored three mountain ranges: Żywiec Beskids, Wyspowy Beskids, and the Gorce Mountains. Trekkers reached peaks such as Mosorny Groń, Hala Krupowa, Pilica, Luboń Wielki, Turbacz, Stare Wierchy, Obidowiec, and Piątkowa Góra.
This year, participants added another eighty kilometers to the journey.
Each trek is designed to be accessible to everyone – not just experienced hikers! All you need is a backpack, comfortable shoes, and an enthusiastic sense of adventure!
