Żwaków Trail

The Żwaków Trail (Szlak Żwakowski) is a black walking trail 35.5 km long. It begins at Katowice Piotrowice station and ends in Tychy-Paprocany. It is managed by the PTTK, and the marking is a black stripe on a white field.

Route

The route leads through Żwaków and Panewniki, where a basilica stands by the trail, and then through Mikołów and several districts of Katowice and Tychy. In Mikołów is the Basilica of St Adalbert.

Who it's for and how to walk it

The trail is 35.5 km long, so it is a route for one very long day or for two shorter stages. Both stations, the starting one in Piotrowice and the final one in Paprocany, are described as points on the trail, which makes it easier to divide into sections.

Practical information

• Start: Katowice Piotrowice (PKP); end: Tychy Paprocany.
• The trail is long, so it is usually divided into stages. Check the current route on the PTTK trail map.
