The Giewont is a mountain massif with its highest peak in the Wielki Giewont at 1895 meters above sea level near Zakopane in the Polish West Tatras. From the summit there is a panoramic view of Zakopane and the Tatra Mountains. It is one of the four local mountains of Zakopane and one of the most popular destinations in the Tatras.

‼️ a head for heights and sure-footedness are required for the ascent ‼️

An extremely popular peak, which is often "congested", which makes it impossible to enjoy conquering it. The ascent and descent are one-way and require the use of hands (horizontal and vertical chains). For experienced mountain climbers they are no problem, for amateurs it is a challenge and an adventure. The descent may be more difficult for some due to the exposure and descent technique. The rocks can be slippery, so it is worth remembering this when planning a trip to Giewont - appropriate footwear and clothing adapted to the conditions AT THE TOP (not at the bottom in Zakopane), a helmet will also not hurt. If you are going with a child, you can equip them with a harness and teach them how to use it in advance (fastening like in a rope park) for the child's safety. Remember that this is a mountain peak - do not treat it as a regular trip to the park and prepare well. If you want to avoid crowds, set off before dawn.
