Staying in two cottages in the Polish Beskidy Mountains, we repeated a lot of our routes from the past in the Gorce range and in the neighbouring Pieniny and Beskid Wyspowy, with a short trip to the Polish part of Spisz.
I publish a few sketchy pictures taken with my phone, I think they are representative enough.
