Alternative access to the Sokola Pass from the Sokolec side via a narrow asphalt road. This is by far the most difficult climb in the Owl Mountains. I am always exhausted at the end of the climb. There are very few bends, the road goes murderously uphill, there is no flatness to take a break for a while. The road has a very good surface, with holiday cottages on one side of the road as well as the other. There are rest areas on the pass, and you can have a snack in the bar.... read more

Alternatywny dojazd na przełęcz Sokolą od strony Sokolca boczną wąską asfaltówką. To zdecydowanie najtrudniejszy podjazd w Górach Sowich. Zawsze na końcu podjazdu jestem wycieńczony. Jest niewiele zakrętów, droga morderczo idzie pod górę, nie ma żadnego wypłaszczenia, żeby na chwilę odsapnąć. Droga ma bardzo dobrą nawierzchnię, po jednej jak i po drugiej stronie drogi domki letniskowe. Na przełęczy miejsca wypoczynku, można posilić się w barze.

Sokolec is a challenging ascent. For this type of climbing, we recommend mountain gearing, specifically a compact system.

Remember that a smooth cadence is always more efficient!
