Gorc (1228 m a.s.l.) is a prominent peak located in the eastern part of the main ridge of the Gorce Mountains. It is the culmination of an extensive mountain massif named the Gorc Massif after it. It is one of the most popular and frequently visited places in the Gorce Mountains. For centuries, the slopes of Gorc were intensively used for grazing and are among the oldest grazing lands in the region, dating back well over half a millennium. A trace of centuries of intensive grazing activity on Gorc are the extensive mountain meadows and clearings located on the mountain slopes, below the summit, preserved to this day. In 2015, a viewing tower was erected on the forest-covered summit dome of Gorc. It offers a wide panorama of the neighboring mountain ranges, including the Gorce, Tatra Mountains, Sądecki Beskid, and Wyspowy Beskid. On the southern slope of Gorc, along the green tourist trail, there is a student tent base, open during the summer season. An blue tourist trail runs through Gorc, connecting here with the black and green trails. The viewing tower is accessible all year round. source of information: https://turystyka.ochotnica.pl/wieze/30

Beautiful views of the Tatra Mountains, Górce, and the surrounding area. Unfortunately, the number of young people on the trail going crazy on motorcycles and quads makes the hike less than pleasant. Noise and the stench of exhaust fumes.

The magnificent tower on Radziejowa (1,266 m above sea level). Radziejowa is the highest mountain in the Sądecki Beskids. The views from the top (i.e., the tower) are incredible, and the map showing the panorama in front of you and which mountains you're looking at is very helpful!

The observation tower on the highest peak in the Beskid Sądecki Mountains, at 1,266 meters, was first built in 2006 and measured 20 meters at the time. Unfortunately, in June 2010, the tower was completely damaged, likely following a lightning strike. After repairs, the tower was accessible until 2017, but was then completely demolished due to rotten wood. A completely new tower was built in 2020, reaching a total height of 22 meters. From a beautiful platform at a height of 17 meters, you have fantastic views in all four directions... You can see the High Tatras, Pieniny, Babią Górę, Gorce, Podhale, Beskid Wyspowy, Beskidu Sądecki, and Beskid Niski.

The last section is a scree path with a 31 percent gradient if you're coming from the yellow-white, red-white, and green-white trails... You should know that, which is why I sent you the photo. The tower is an experience... The yellow-white trail is very unpleasant as a climb.
