Perć Borkowskiego (Borkowski's Path)

Perć Borkowskiego (Borkowski's Path) is a yellow trail in the Island Beskids, leading from Rabka-Zaryte to the summit of Luboń Wielki through the Luboń Wielki nature reserve. It is named in honour of Stanisław Dunin-Borkowski, the builder and long-time keeper of the mountain hut on Luboń Wielki.
