    Tips

    Giewont is really the whole massif. This is its highest peak, Wielki Giewont. Giewont is the symbol of Zakopane, the Polish Tatras and Podhale. Because it is, you can expect crowds here - this peak is extremely popular. Especially at the very top, you have to be careful, because everything can be slippery for hundreds of feet here.

        The Wielki Giewont is stormed by tourists in low shoes. Long waiting times have to be accepted when climbing the summit. So rather skip it. 😒

          The Alpine Accentor lives on the summit. This bird is quite trustful, as it gets plenty of food thanks to the hikers.

            In winter a little more difficult, but less tourists. I highly recommend this pairing!

              Giewont (1895) is one of Zakopane's four local mountains. A large cross stands on its summit. However, as one of the most popular tourist destinations in the Tatra Mountains, the peak quickly becomes overcrowded in summer.

                      The approach with chains slows you down considerably. We managed because the forecast was poor and the weather turned out to be bearable 😉
