There's always a crowd, but plenty of space, so everyone can find their spot. A must-see on the route to Babia Góra.

In winter, it can be completely covered with snow. It's about 30 minutes from the Brona Pass. From Mała Babia Góra, you can see Babia Góra and the Tatra Mountains emerging behind it (in good visibility).
