Hala Kondratowa Mountain Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Please check if the shelter is already open! It was under renovation in 2024, but the planned opening is in 2025; it was closed before.

The smallest PTTK shelter in the Tatras. Currently, you can't book accommodation here - but there is a kitchen and a buffet.

Many pass here on their way to Giewont, so the place is popular. In addition, from Kuźnice it is an easy walk, so suitable for families with children. Beautiful views!

The path to Kondracka
Kopka (1776 m) is mapped as a T2 hiking trail. It has steps, is easy to walk but requires a lot of physical fitness.
There are natural drinking water sources in many places.

Great Giewont

Highlight • Summit

Giewont is really the whole massif. This is its highest peak, Wielki Giewont. Giewont is the symbol of Zakopane, the Polish Tatras and Podhale. Because it is, you can expect crowds here - this peak is extremely popular. Especially at the very top, you have to be careful, because everything can be slippery for hundreds of feet here.

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.

Strążyski Potok

The hiking trail follows the Strazyski Potok river for a good stretch. The current varies depending on the gradient and rainfall. It can be observed well here.

Spadowiec Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

The path leads past the waterfall via a wooden bridge.
There are several such “waterfalls” here. This one is a bit more impressive.
