On the path through the gorge Homole exceeds the stream several times. Historically, it was overcome by jumping over large rocks on the bottom, which required little skills, now for the convenience of tourist made of metal bridges. The entrance to the gorge is situated right next to the road leading through Jaworki, behind the car park and is marked with a large array. After crossing the wooden bridge creek "Kamionka", immediately to the left side is the rock called "Wapiennik" , followed for long stretches on almost vertical wall. On the opposite side of the stretch higher than them and equally steep called "Prokwitowska Homola". There are mine shafts in it - in the past sought here gold. Then the trail leading through forest and some large rocks until the exit of the gorge.

Subsequently a short stay in the "Wysoki Wierch", we went back a blue trail and then turned left in the direction of shelter "Pod Durbaszką". We didn't want to go back the same way, so from shelter "Pod Durbaszką" we went all the way down along cycling route.
