Markowe Szczawiny / Górny Płaj, Babiogórski Park Narodowy, Beskid Żywiecki, woj. śląskie
Perć Akademików is a yellow-marked trail in the Babia Góra massif in the Żywiec Beskids. It leads from the Rescuers' Turn (Skręt Ratowników) on the Górny Płaj path near the Markowe Szczawiny hut to the summit of Babia Góra – Diablak (1,725 m above sea level). Despite its short length, it is one of the most interesting and challenging trails in the Polish Beskids.
The trail lies on the border of the provinces, in the Babia Góra massif protected by the Babia Góra National Park. Diablak is the highest peak of the massif.
The most difficult section is an approximately 8-metre vertical wall called the Black Beak (Czarny Dziób), which is climbed with the aid of a chain and six metal steps. The trail was marked out in 1925.
A one-way trail (ascent only), intended for hikers resistant to exposure. Closed in winter.
The trail is available in the summer season; closed in winter due to avalanche danger.
Approach from the Markowe Szczawiny hut (Górny Płaj).
