Travelers in Poland face varying conditions during the autumn season. In the Podkarpacie region, road maintenance on National Road 9 and regional road DW875 has caused logistical disruptions and speed limit reductions. In the Tatra Mountains, hikers have encountered inconsistent terrain where snow at higher altitudes ranges from hard ridges to very soft snow in valleys. 

Other mountain regions, such as the Beskid Mały and the Stołowe Mountains, offer different hiking experiences. In the Beskid Mały region, the village of Łysina—the highest village in the Łękawica commune—serves as a notable destination. From the Ścieszków Groń peak, hikers can access expansive views of Babia Góra and Pilsko. 

In Lower Silesia, the Radkowskie Skały within the Stołowe Mountains National Park provide an alternative to more crowded tourist spots. This area is characterized by high sandstone walls, rock towers, and narrow passages formed by geological processes over millions of years. The autumn foliage provides a colorful backdrop to the grey sandstone landscape, and the trails are considered suitable for beginners.
