IN THE AREA OF KOPA BISKUPIE, JARNOŁTÓWKA AND POKRZYWNA
The blue trail called the "Golden Stream Gorge Trail" - length - 12 kilometers long (walking time: approx. 3 h 45')
It runs along the northern and southern edges of the Golden Stream Valley. Numerous remnants of former quarries are located along its course: "Żabie Oczko," "Morskie Oczko," "Gwarkowa Perć" and "Piekiełko."
The trail begins before the bridge over the Golden Stream in Jarnołtówek, near the "Włoski Smak" restaurant. Before the bridge, the trail turns left, following the river until it reaches the "Aleksandrówka" preventorium. Before the preventorium, the trail turns left, climbing steeply to Krzyżówka (427 meters above sea level), from where it branches off to the right to the "Karolinki" rock outcrops. From "Karolinki" (390-420 m above sea level), a scenic spot, the trail heads east, straight ahead, and after about 700 m turns left, after another few hundred meters, it reaches the flooded
"Żabie Oczko". The trail bypasses "Żabie Oczko" and heads straight through Olszak (453 m above sea level), from where it continues downhill, reaching the Jarnołtówek-Pokrzywna district road. After crossing the road, the blue trail continues down to the river, reaching the "Złoty Potok" recreation center and the adjacent forest swimming area. The trail bypasses the center and bathing area, heading to the parking lot, where there is a hiking trail junction. From the parking lot, the trail turns right, westward, reaching after about 1.5 km the so-called "Cicha Dolina". Continuing upwards, parallel to Bystry Potok, it reaches a bridge leading to "Gwarkowa Perć". From "Gwarkowa Perć," the trail ascends via a special ladder attached to the rocks to "Piekiełko". From "Piekiełko", the trail heads
straight northwest to the "Karliki" rock outcroppings and then down to the county road and the bridge next to which the trail began.

Yellow Trail - length - 12.3 km (walking time: approx. 4 h 20' – 4 h 30').
This is a popular trail leading to the Bohdan Małachowski Mountain Tourist Home under Biskupia Kopa (765 m above sea level).
The trail begins in Jarnołtówek, a few dozen meters from the "Włoski Smak" restaurant, behind the bridge over Złoty Potok, on the road to Pokrzywna. Initially, the trail leads along the steep slope of Bukowa Góra (507 m above sea level) past the rocky outcrops known as "Gwarkowe Skały". Then, the trail descends past the so-called
"Piekiełko" – an inactive phyllite slate quarry. Further on, the trail leads past another inactive slate quarry, the so-called "Gwarkowa Perć", to the former "Na Anusi" forester's lodge. Behind the forester's lodge, the trail reaches the "Amalii Road", which climbs the slopes of Biskupia Kopa. The road leads to the Bohdan Małachowski Mountain Tourist Home, commonly known as the mountain hut. In good weather, you can approach the hut via a shorter staircase. Near the shelter's terrace, the yellow trail turns left and descends. It continues to Przełęcz Mokra (707 m above sea level) and then along the slopes of Srebrna Kopa. After about 2.5 km, it reaches Przełęcz Srebrna (508 m above sea level). At the pass, the yellow trail turns left and joins the so-called "Saperska Droga", passing the slopes of Zamkowa Góra and Szyndzielowa Kopa, as well as the remains of a ski jump. It then reaches a crossroads near Szyndzielowa. From here, the yellow trail heads right and downhill, reaching the parking lot at the swimming area after a few hundred meters, where it ends.
