Kródy
Along the trail on the Czupel ridge run long walls of stones gathered from former mountain pastures – locals call them kródy. There are also remains of Second World War trenches. Before 1914 the ‘Widok na Tatry’ (View of the Tatras) hut was built by the trail to Magurka Wilkowicka; it operated until 1967.

A height from the laser
The latest geodetic and lidar measurements gave 931 m; most maps still show 930 m. Windthrow and felling have opened up the summit – from it you can see, among others, the Goczałkowice and Międzybrodzie lakes, and from the glades on the eastern ridge Babia Góra, Pilsko and even the Tatras.

Two parts of the Little Beskids
The Little Beskids are a compact mountain group about 35 km long. The Soła gorge with three reservoirs – at Czaniec, Porąbka and Tresna – divides it into two parts. Czupel is the highest peak of the smaller, western one: the Magurka Wilkowicka range. The larger, eastern part is the Łamana Skała group, also called the Zasolskie Mountains or the Kocierz Beskids. Since 1998 the range has been protected by the Little Beskids Landscape Park, and between Magurka Wilkowicka and Czupel lies Wietrzna Dziura, a small cave 33 m long.
