Rocky Outcrop in Tatrzański Park Narodowy

Miętusi Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

A small pass, from which the glades offer beautiful views of Giewont, Czerwone Wierchy and more. This pass separates the Mała Łąka Valley from Kościeliska and Miętusia.

A good place to stop.

A former shepherd's pasture. In 1960, 250 sheep were grazed here, but then it stopped.

From here, you can admire the peaks and mighty mountains, such as Zdziary Pisaniarskie, Zbójecka Turnia and Stoły.

The hike starts in Kiry, a small district of Zakopane. First leads along the “Koscieliski” brook. After crossing the “Kantaka” gate, we enter the large meadow - “Wyżnia Kira Miętusia”, where sheep graze. In the local hut - Bacówka, you can try sheep's milk products (cheese - Oscypek, - similar to “Zéntyca” kefir). There are numerous hells that can be …

🗺️ Start: Kira Parking
🎯 Destination: Kościeliska Valley
💵 Parking fee: PLN 50
💵 Ticket price to TPN: PLN 10 standard ticket

I've been to Kościeliska Valley dozens of times, so I didn't see anything new.
It's one of the places I like to go to when I don't have any ideas for a light mountain walk.

September 22, 2023,PL - Dolina Koscieliska

A relatively relaxed hike through the Koscieliska Gorge to the Ornak Hut. The main path is well developed. There are a few caves left and right in the gorge that you can climb into. We left them out today. Entrance to the national park currently costs PLN 9 (09/2023).
