Krowiarki is an iconic climb in my area, The climb mainly starts from the roundabout in Zawoja, however, I recommend doing it from Maków where the segment near Orlen on Białka begins, then it has 600 climbs and about 27 km, you pass three iconic villages, the road climbs from the start, the asphalt is ok, the traffic is heavier at weekends. It's 1.5-4% all the way to the roundabout, and from the roundabout the fun begins. The ascent up to the hamlet of Policzone is with views, then only... read more

A long but easy climb, initially the gradient is slight, it only increases before the pass. At the exit from Zawoja, we have a view of Babia Góra, but later most of the time we ride up among the trees.

Długi, ale łatwy podjazd, początkowo nachylenie jest niewielkie, wzrasta dopiero przed przełęczą. Na wyjeździe z Zawoi mamy widok na Babią Górę, lecz później większość czasu podjeżdżamy wśród drzew.

New asphalt, flat as a table. Views only at the beginning of the climb, then we enter the forest, the pass is also wooded. The surroundings of Zawoja are very picturesque. The traffic is relatively low, heavier at weekends and in the summer months. A driveway from the Tour de Pologne route.

Asfalt nowy, równy jak stół. Widoki tylko na początku podjazdu, później wjeżdżamy w las, przełęcz też zalesiona. Okolice Zawoi bardzo malownicze. Ruch stosunkowo mały, większy w weekendy i w miesiącach letnich. Podjazd z tras Tour de Pologne.

Krowiarki is an iconic climb in my area, The climb mainly starts from the roundabout in Zawoja, however, I recommend doing it from Maków where the segment near Orlen on Białka begins, then it has 600 climbs and about 27 km, you pass three iconic villages, the road climbs from the start, the asphalt is ok, the traffic is heavier at weekends. It's 1.5-4% all the way to the roundabout, and from the roundabout the fun begins. The ascent up to the hamlet of Policzone is with views, then only forest, unfortunately on the pass it is often crowded and there are no views, however it is over 1000 m.a.s.l. The descent to Zubrzyca is fantastic.

Krowiarki to kultowy podjazd w mojej okolicy, Podjazd głównie zaczyna się od ronda w Zawoi, to ja jednak polecam zrobić go od Makowa gdzie zaczyna się segment w okolicy Orlenu na Białce, liczy wówczas 600 przewyższeń i około 27 km, mijamy trzy kultowe wioski, droga wspina się od startu, asfalt jest ok, ruch większy jest w weekendy. Do ronda jest cały czas 1,5-4%, a od ronda zaczyna się zabawa. Podjazd do momentu przysiółka Policzone jest z widokami później już ż tylko las, niestety na przełęczy często jest tłoczno i brak widoków jednak jest ponad 1000 m.n.p.m.. Zjazd na Zubrzycę fantastyczny.
Koma od Zawoi ma Pogaczar, od Makowa ja 😁
