View of Giewont

Highlight • Viewpoint

Hikers can see the summit cross of Giewont (Reclining Knight, 1895 m) early on. The mountain massif is impressive. But also frustrating if you want to climb it. The summit seems infinitely far away.

September 18, 2022,[Polen | Hohe Tatra] Winter is coming 🐺

Since the path over the Grzyboviec is closed from December 1st to May 15th, we had to take a detour to the south. The trail is very steep at the end and in places very difficult to walk due to the loose surface.
