It may not be the most difficult climb in Poland, but it is definitely one of the most famous - mainly due to the Tour de Pologne race, which often passes through there. The main difficulty is the final wall with an incline of over 20％. It is worth taking care of a good gear ratio and a strong leg :). Before the final climb, there is a commemorative plaque.

An iconic climb. Promoted thanks to the Tour de Pologne. Narrow road but moderate traffic.

Good surface, the climb starts tentatively. It's worth spreading your strength wisely as the finish is quite strong.

A classic Tatra wall. It is worth tackling this climb at least once in your life.

The map inaccurately shows its gradient. In places it is 22 degrees (before the turn from Gliczarów Dolny) and about 24％ at the end towards Gliczarów Górny. On Saturday, there were some cars going that way, which added some stress. There is a nice monument there for a commemorative photo. If you buckle up it's hard to start further solo. I'm not a seasoned mountaineer either, but it was manageable.
