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.

The climb from Szczawnica is short but quite steep, so if you don't like to get tired, the cable car is your only chance to get to Palenica.

The end of the beautiful route across the Pieniny Gorge. A good 12 km on a beautifully maintained bike path, partly paved.

A very well-known spa town in the Pieniny Mountains (southern Poland). There are numerous bike and mountain bike rentals here. And the potential is enormous, whether to Slovakia via the beautiful Dunajec Gorge or to Radziejowa Mountain, which stands at 1,266 meters and offers a magnificent panorama. On the local mountain, Palenica, at 722 meters, there are accessible mountain bike descents on singletrack. You can then take the chairlift up.
