A peak on the Polish-Slovak border

Wielka Rycerzowa (1226 m above sea level) belongs to the Wielka Racza group in the Żywiec Beskids and lies on the Polish-Slovak border, between Majcherowa and Świtkowa. The summit is largely wooded, so the top itself offers no wide panorama. The viewpoint is Hala Rycerzowa, a meadow slightly lower down.

Views and the mountain hut

From the meadow you can see the Silesian Beskids, the Lipowska and Pilsko ridges and, in good weather, the Babia Góra massif. A PTTK bacówka hut stands on the clearing and serves as a shelter — a natural stop before continuing along the ridge. The clearing and the woods near the top are thick with bilberry.

Getting there

A yellow trail leads from Soblówka to the summit, about 5.2 km long; the walk takes around 2 hours 40 minutes. It is a typical Beskid route: a long climb on a forest road, technically easy but demanding in terms of stamina.
