Groniczki

Groniczki rises to 697 meters on the main ridge between Gaiki mountain and U Panienki pass in southern Poland. It sits within the Beskid Mały range and connects different hiking trails that vary in difficulty.

German tourist guides called this peak Hanslik in their publications during the late 1800s and early 1900s. This name reflects how the region was mapped and understood by German-speaking travelers at that time.

The nearby Skała Czarownic rock formation carries local stories about a bandit named Wojciech Bulok who sheltered in the area. These tales shape how people today view and visit this part of the mountain.

The summit is reachable via the yellow trail from Żarnówka Mała to Kozy or the black trail from Bielsko-Biała Lipnik. The black path is steeper and more demanding, while the yellow route suits those seeking an easier climb.

Old sycamore trees and purple foxglove grow on the mountain slopes, creating a rich plant life throughout the area. This botanical variety makes the route special for those interested in wild plants.
