Kordowiec

Kordowiec is a summit in the Sądecki Beskid range located along the Red Trail connecting Rytro and Radziejowa Peak. The route passes through sections of forest and open meadows that form the natural landscape.

The mountain paths near this summit historically led to Niemcowa meadow, where Poland's highest school, the Mountain School above the Clouds, operated from 1938 to 1961. This institution was a remarkable experiment in mountain education.

The mountain paths around this summit connect local communities and serve residents of the Sądecki Beskid region as traditional gathering places. These routes shape how people spend their time and remain part of daily life in the area.

Hikers reach this summit through marked trails starting from Rytro, which has train connections, buses from Nowy Sącz, and parking at the station. Wear sturdy footwear and follow the trail markers carefully, as the route crosses varied terrain.

Along the ascent sits a location called Poczekaj, where natural forest clearings open up views of the surrounding Carpathian landscape. These unexpected vantage points let hikers pause and take in the mountain range without leaving the trail.
