Hi there!
It has been LONG time since my last post. No more waiting, here it is. Enjoy short report of our little trekking adventures in magnificent Tatra mountains (Poland/Slovakia).
We start our journey in a little village Gronik, close to well known city Zakopane, Poland. After one kilometer, we are passing by this cute brook.
Gorgeous meadows under the mountains!
Nice but invasive species plant, if not mistaken. Unable to identify it😁
Feasting my eyes on magnificent views after we climb up a bit.
The mountain in the middle of this shot is named Kondracka (2005 m.a.s.l.). We will take that path to get there.
We are almost at the top of the mountain Wielki Giewont (1895 m.a.s.l.). Pretty busy spot, you need to wait in a queue up.
Cloud-covered Wielki Giewont with the cross.
One sad comment about this popular peak. Crowds of hikers want to get to the iron cross there. On the top of that, there is an iron chain on the path to the peak. Weather changes rapidly in such altitude. Few years ago, there was a thunderstorm with lightnings. Sadly, some did not make it, many were injured. Just a memento - mountains are beautiful, but they can be harsh sometimes.
Knotweed, my favorite.
View from the mountain Kopa Kondracka (2005 m.a.s.l.).
Without clouds, the scenery would be incomplete.
Wielki Giewont with the tiny cross on the left!
Zoomed in. We are lucky as we see at least one chamois!
Taking photos on the mountain Malolučniak (2105 m.a.s.l.). It is nothing unusual to meet religious hikers in Polish mountains. However, worse thing is when they easily overtake you while climbing up 😁
Here is itinerary of our way up: ↑ 1391m & ↓249m
How was the descent? Let's check it out in the next post. This was 27th July, 2022. Thank you for reading this post. If you like it, stay tuned as more trekking adventures will definitely come.
