Turbacz is the highest peak of the Gorce Mountains, a small range in the Western Beskids, which is part of the Crown of Polish Mountains. The Gorce range is largely an area of the Gorczański National Park, however, the peak itself lies outside its borders. At the summit, there is an obelisk, an iron cross, an information board, a table, and benches. From here, you can admire the beautiful panorama of the Tatra Mountains. Below the summit is the PTTK Shelter named after Władysław Orkan on Turbacz.

For a shelter, the food is quite good, especially the sweet snacks - cheesecake, apple pie, normal prices, quite crowded in season and it's better to book accommodation in advance. In good weather, you can eat a meal outside with a beautiful free view of the Tatra Mountains.
