The proposition to create the rout was first presented in the Ziemia journal by Stanislaw Leszczycki in 1927. In 1930, a trail running from Cracow by Ojcow Plateau and Teczynski Ridge, and then returning to Cracow was marked out. Despite its picturesqueness, the trail became forgotten since it was in no way preserved or renovated. In 1948, another attempt at charting of the trail was taken by Kazimierz Sosnowski, a known tourist and geographer. Two years later, in 1950, due to a grant from the Ministry of Communication, the trail was finally mapped out as a tourist walking trail with a length of 163.9 km, extending from Cracow to Czestochowa.
