During the January Uprising and the last war, insurgents and partisans were hiding on the hill. These events are commemorated by a cross and a monument on the top of the Church. We reach the Church Hill along the blue Szumów trail. Walking along the banks of the Jeleń River, we reach a large waterfall (time about 0.5 hours). Going further along the blue trail (after 45 minutes) we go through a steep gorge on the river. We leave the river and we come across a black trail, which together with the blue trail lead to Church.
