View of the Tatra Mountains from Dursztyn

Dursztyn is said to be the poorest village of Polish Spisz. Well, an excellent location with 360º panoramas is not what would bring money until recent years. It has an interesting location, between gentle Beskidy-type mountain of Grandeus (with the big transmission antenna) and steep slopes of typically Pieniny-like Żar, the highest peak of Spisz-Pieniny (882m). Just as the other Spisz / Zips villages, it original name is of German origin and it means… a Hard Rock. The scenic cycloway is to be finished until June 2018; you will see herds of sheep on the right (if coming from Niedzica) - if you’d like to buy some sheep cheese or zentyca - sheep milk whey (a liquid left after the production of cottage cheese). There is also a shop in the centre, off the path.
