Szklarki Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

Something like 3 euros entry, if you enter the loop from the other side you don't have to pay anything? (Otherwise fine, but if you don't want to spend anything, you'd better reverse the route😅).

National Park Entrance Parking and Market Stalls

Highlight • Parking

A parking lot right at the entrance of the national park. It pays to be quick. The parking spaces fill up quickly and there aren't that many around!

Beautiful vantage point overlooking the ridge of the Giant Mountains, good for a rest. Very close to the path lies the Rübezahl grave.

It's best to park where our tour starts. Because... the two upstream 🅿️ with souvenir shops are usually quickly full.

We stay on the street side, cross the 🌉 and follow the ⚫️🔵 path along Kamienna.

After about 10 minutes' walk we pay the tourist tax and entry to the national park.
